I noticed that too.  What it's doing is mirroring it 180 degrees
around the central X axis; i.e. it ends up the same distance from the
top of the board as it used to be from the bottom of the board.  At
least, the "move selected ..." menu option does that.  The "move
*this* element" (B key) seems to be trying to mirror it about the
crosshair.

I think the idea is that if you have a collection of elements and
traces, it's safer to mirror them en masse than to mirror them
individually, so that the traces remain connected.
