I wonder what this has to do with the priority tag. All luggage will go into the SAME compartment, and in theory they should be loaded/unloaded such that the tagged ones arrive first, Mind you, this often fails, I guess due to the "local" luggage handlers. In your case, it looks to me as if there was a small technical problem and quite uncommonly, I'd say, you were even told that this was coming.
