The order object ($arg1) is empty for the callback function of hook_checkout_pane on the operation "view". Can anyone confirm this or why is that?

When someone first gets to the checkout page, there isn't an order yet, so NULL is passed into $arg1. If someone clicks "Back" on the review page, the order does exist by that point, and it should be used to fill in the #default_values of the checkout form rather than the actual default values. This keeps them from having to fill out all of their information again.
