Yes, both on W7 and Linux:

wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,GCC
4.8.1,wx containers,compatible with 2.8)
Platform: Windows 7 (build 7601, Service Pack 1), 32 bit, Little endian,
wxMSW
Boost version: 1.54.0
         USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
         USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF
         USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON
         BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON
         KICAD_USE_WEBKIT=ON

wxDC is used, I just mean the specific wxMirrorDC is not used.
(But wxMirrorDC is perhaps just a wrapper which changes the axis
orientation and origin)

Both are OK for me.

Note also the frame reference is not mirrored, and should be drawn, even
if the dc->SetAxisOrientation( false, false ) has issues.
