You'll get the same again if you type: di "`r(varlist)'".
The logic behind what you saw is that
di `r(varlist)'
is like typing
di make price mpg rep78 headroom trunk weight length turn displacement
gear_ratio foreign
Which means "display the content of the first observation of each of
these variables".
Hope this helps,
Maarten
