What to say, it is obvious that LC keeps equal number of
connections to each real server. For LC you should know that when
all real servers have equal number of connections then the order
of real servers is used. It seems the order will be used only when you
have very low traffic, i.e. when each new connection detects real
servers with equal numbers.

You have to check your stats to see how many connections are
served in a whole day. For example, MRTG. LVS provides stats for each
VS and RS. If some of the real servers respond slowly it is obvious
that LC will be fooled. You can see it by adding one I486 real server :)
