Can you show how `package-alist` changes for `-go-mode` for you?

That shouldn't be the case (unless you specifically asked for it via
something like `package-pinned-packages`).

In its, this shouldn't make a difference, because it just changes the
order in which we consult the `<PKG>-pkg.el` descriptors to populate
`package-alist` whereas the *activation* of the `go-mode` package is the
one that should choose the one with the higher version number.

Barring bugs, `package-alist` can be filled in any order (so the `nosort`
option shouldn't make a difference): we apply the proper sorting
(i.e. newest version at the front) in `package-process-define-package`.
