So this output is the split because it has a lower output index, even though we have a settled to-self output present in the commitment?

This shows why the reverted commit was added initially: If there are multiple asset pieces in a channel, you can't guarantee that every on-chain output gets assets from every piece (depending on the amount distribution). So even if you say the to_remote output should house split root, there might be virtual packets (in this example asset ID 4) will not have any split output in the to_remote output.
In that case we just fall back to having the split at index 0.
But, since this new fallback case can only happen for new, grouped asset channels, it's okay since both nodes need to be on the newer version to understand.
And for the cases where there's only one asset in the channel, we know that each output will get a piece of that asset and we can guarantee that the split output is at the location it was in previous versions, hence restoring backward compatibility.
