I doubt it was obvious to the Death Eaters (and therefore Voldemort) 
that the Order was guarding the Prophecy.  They were using Moody's 
invisibility cloak, after all.  I imagine there was no knowledge of 
Order guards until Snake!Voldemort used his super snaky powers to 
spot the sleeping Arthur. 

As to why the Order was guarding the door at that time, well, Lucius 
was responsible for the reconnaissance, and he was already in 
Voldemort's bad graces (the diary incident), so I imagine it'd be 
rather easy to nudge the blame in Lucius's direction.
