Independent of the display, the other parameters section doesn't show
up in the html docs.

Yes that seems to be a bug. I added this to the related pydocweb problem with section ordering here: http://code.google.com/p/pydocweb/issues/detail?id=45
 

The only example that I found in numpy is recarrays, there the
sequence is reversed but it also doesn't show up in the html

http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/numpy.core.records.recarray/

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.recarray.html?highlight=recarray#numpy.recarray

There's an issue with section headers there as well because recarray is a class and is not supposed to have a Returns section. So don't think that tells you anything.
