I can't find a support article on the internet, but when I was there two years ago, I was told that by my hotel staff that they flipped the names intentionally because there is a backlash against government bureaucrats traveling in first class.

First class and second class are standard products across many trains. It was necessary to call the top class on g trains something different in order to preserve these standards. I'm perplexed by how often this topic comes up.
