I believe everyone in ISO > C++ SG1 agreed that this is basically a defect in the standard. To clarify, my impression from the discussion was that there was general consensus that memory_order_consume as specified now wouldn't achieve what it was intended to in practice, due to the implementation issues. IOW, it's not useful even though it's not a defect in the sense of being inconsistent or plain wrong.
