This is very weird. The two uses should be equivqlent. Where is this
documented?

Why is this weird? Every language package manual I know states to load babel this way, also the VnTeX-package manual. Giving the babel options in the documentclass is equivalent for the other languages we support, so loading them directly with babel when vietnamese is used, doesn't change anything.

I don't know exactly why vietnamese is special here, I guess because the inputenc package must be loaded with utf8 before the vietnam.ldf can be taken by babel. Because when you put vietnam only to documentclass options, you get a babel error, that no language option is given.
