My guess would be that "pigment { ... }" all by inself is being 
interpreted as if it were "texture { pigment { ... } }", that is
to say, because you assigned one element of the texture to the 
component, it was read as if it were the full definition of a
texture (or at least as full as you saw fit to assign) so the fact
that that texture had no finish caused it to default. Then,
by the time it reached the stand alone finish at the end, all
the elements already had textures, so the finish at the end 
was ignored since nothing seemed to need it.
