Would you say that that's the normal order for the reflexive pronoun, 
when used, but not so usual for other pronouns even when used with 
reference to the subject of the sentence?

ju gahorinoda izai in hairtin seinamma.
HDH EMOICEUSEN AUTHN EN TH KARDIA AUTOU
"he has already committed adultery with her in his heart"

andnemun mizdon seina
APECOUSIN TON MISQON AUTWN
"they have had their reward"

jah qam in seinai baurg
KAI HLQEN EIS THN IDIAN POLIN
"and came into his own city"
(in contrast to all the other cities that he's preached in)

All explicity reflexive in Gothic, but only one marked in Greek.  Does 
IDIOS have to refer to the subject?
