I have been busy complaining to all and sundry about ordering on the 3rd March and getting week 26 production.
The recent VW response was priceless:
<<
Thank you for your most recent email dated 24 May 2012.
I can understand your disappointment with this matter and I aplogise for the inconvenience caused.
Your vehicle order was placed on 13 March and was accepted by the Factory in the same week. At the time of placing the order, the lead time of 12 weeks supplied by the retailer was an estimate and is subject to change, mainly due to supply and demand.
However, I can confirm that your vehicle has been upgraded from model year 12 to model year 13.
I trust this information proves useful.
Thank you for contacting Volkswagen UK.

I don't think that VW understand that information flows more freely these days
