Another snag, in working from 2d to 3d.

If you have a hull in 2D, then linear extrude its mirror, it won't. Not
sure if hull of a hull is OK, though.

The following code, (viewed in thrown together explains why, I guess)

module profile(){
    hull(){
        circle (d=40);
        translate([50,21]) circle (d=28);
    }
}

// moved over for comparison
translate([100,0,0])linear_extrude(20)profile();
translate([100,0,0])linear_extrude(10)mirror([0,1]) profile(); // if only

// this at origin x,y

linear_extrude(20)profile();
// this works
hull(){
mirror([0,1])linear_extrude(10)profile();
}

I'd call this a bug.

linear_extrude(10)
mirror([0,1])
hull()
circle(10);

It seems that mirror() is flipping the direction of the face, but only if
you use hull(). Seems pretty strange.

It seems that mirror() is flipping the direction of the face, but only
if you use hull(). Seems pretty strange.

In OpenSCAD 2021.01 it shows inverted faces for the cylinder faces in F8
preview "Thrown together". The exported STL also has inverted faces.
This STL can be repaired using "polyfix" -nflip option:

$ polyfix -nflip -overwrite mirror_hull.stl

Alternatively, one may also process the original .scad source with
AngelCAD and the result then has correctly oriented faces.
