So, I'm not a native English speaker, and I'm by training akin to a
logician, so maybe what I'm going to say is a "déformation
professionnelle".

In my understanding, "List of known-bad OpenCL implementations" (it
needs to be a plural IMHO) is equivalent to "List of OpenCL
implementations that are known to be bad", while "List of known bad
implementations of OpenCL" is equivalent to "List of OpenCL
implementations that are known and are bad". "Known to be bad" and
"known and bad" are not the same statement.

The sentence doesn't say... Maybe the context does.
