What you are seeing is the expected behavior. You are reversing the path direction, so if the profile puts the whole stroke to the left side in the original path, it will stay on the left in the flipped path. The left is outside of the curve in the original but flips to the inside when reversed. You can reverse it in the Stroke panel or the Properties panel.

Respect, Peter.

 

Explanations with all main cardinal points are certainly remarkable feats.

Peter is right. Try Object > Path > Reverse Path Direction to see the same happening.
