You have to set the parameter > "reverse" to true for that behavior. The updated patch does not use "reverse" but the old description is still there. Daniel, one thing I fear about your "I want to store the message in the object store so that I can reuse even after I re-polish the series" desire on the cover letter topic is this kind of gotcha, and that is why I suggested "*** BLURB GOES HERE ***". Both the summary (diffstat and shortlog) part and the description part should be kept fresh in the updated 0/N; while we can automate the summary part whenever we re-generate 0/N, you cannot automate the description part.
