Sorry, yes, I was being imprecise. It doesn't get the right document.  Oddly, on my system the order is slightly better.  I'm not running the 2012 pretest right now.

alan$ texdoc -l l3clist
 1 /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/l3kernel/expl3.pdf
   = The LaTeX3 Programming Language
 2 /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/l3kernel/interface3.pdf
   = LaTeX3 interfaces
 3 /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/l3kernel/l3styleguide.pdf
   = LaTeX3 style guide
 4 /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/l3kernel/l3syntax-changes.pdf
   = Syntax changes
 5 /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/l3kernel/source3.pdf
   = Sources of the whole bundle
 6 /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/doc/latex/l3kernel/README
   = Readme

I think this is all for now.  I had some discussion with Frank and Joseph about it.  If there's anything else missing, I'll let you know.
