To the best of my knowledge there is no problem with this whatsoever,
it's certainly never given me any problems, put the device where you
like, I think you are suppoed to put the fastest devices closest to the
computer for speed reasons, you might actually need the device that you
expect to always be on to be at the end of the chain so that termpower
is supplied to the terminators though.

Are you sure this is connected to having all devices on rather than a
single device?
