Mirror is a scale with factor -1 which would indeed flip the normals. This is a know issue and not considered a bug. Improvements are possible, but that's considered a TODO and to be handled outside of the bug tracker.

Thanks for the report anyway!

Ok.
When mirroring in Object mode, normals are ok.
