Probably no one else thought of it either; that's why the different
drivers implemented it differently.

But what is "correct"?
Probably the post/svg version, but let's at least make this a 
conscious decision.

Got me. I think it's a hack added in many different places,
some of which fight each other.  "with image" is not the only
plot style to have problems with it. It breaks "filledcurve" also,
and almost certainly "histograms" as well.

One option is just to document that some plot styles
do not work with reversed axes.  At least until someone is
inspired to clean it up and make sure all plot styles can
handle it.
