Keyword arguments are ripped from the middle of hash if argument have default value

Description

Here is the code:

def test1(source = {}, **opts)
  puts "SOURCE: #{source}, OPTS: #{opts}"
end

def test2(source, **opts)
  puts "SOURCE: #{source}, OPTS: #{opts}"
end

puts "No source"
test1(length: 2000) 
# 1. SOURCE: {}, OPTS: {:length=>2000} -- OK, it is reasonable.
test2(length: 2000) 
# 2. SOURCE: {:length=>2000}, OPTS: {} -- Exactly as expected.

puts
puts "Source is mixed hash"
test1('River name' => 'Mississippi', length: 2000, 'Country' => 'USA')
# 3. SOURCE: {"River name"=>"Mississippi", "Country"=>"USA"}, OPTS: {:length=>2000} -- It is already a bit weird
test2('River name' => 'Mississippi', length: 2000, 'Country' => 'USA')
# 4. SOURCE: {"River name"=>"Mississippi", :length=>2000, "Country"=>"USA"}, OPTS: {} -- The most weird thing!

My concern is cases (3) and (4). Ripping keyword argument from what from any logic looks like a middle of a hash (3) is already pretty strange. But the fact that this behavior depends on whether first argument has or has not default value (3 vs 4) clearly looks like some bug?

Checked on several recent versions, including ruby 2.5.0dev (2017-09-11 trunk 59836) [x86_64-linux] (the last that is available on my RVM), behavior is consistent between them.
