The only thing that's goes haywire with the text whilst mirroring a block is the justification.
I'd like to have a copy of the version of AutoCAD you use because in every block I have ever had.. in any version of AutoCAD I have ever used the text is mirrored (i.e. reversed, upside down, etc..) when the block is mirrored.
If you have something different PLEASE share it with us....
All text, even attributes will be affected by mirroring (with regards to the justification point except "MiddleCenter")
