Cwacs-camera photos are mirrored no matter what mirrorFFC is set to

I'm having a strange problem with CommonsWare's cwac-camera library. Images taken by the front camera are always mirrored (i.e. mirror of what I see in the preview) despite setting:

builder.mirrorFFC(true);

I have confirmed that this setting is applied correctly by logging in the ImageCleanupTask as follows:

if (applyMatrix) {
  if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
    if (xact.host.getDeviceProfile().portraitFFCFlipped()
        && (xact.displayOrientation == 90 || xact.displayOrientation == 270)) {
      matrix=flip(new Matrix());
    }
    else if (xact.mirrorFFC()) {
      Log.d("myapp", "matrixFFC is true");
      matrix=mirror(new Matrix());
    }
  }

The strangest thing is photos are always mirrored, whether I set mirrorFFC(true) or not. I haven't made any other changes to the Cwac library.

A quick and dirty hack solving the problem is to modify ImageCleanupTask as follows:

if (matrix != null) {
    Bitmap original=
        BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);

    cleaned=
        Bitmap.createBitmap(original, 0, 0, original.getWidth(),
                            original.getHeight(), matrix, true);
    original.recycle();

    //below my added code:
    Matrix myMatrix = new Matrix(); 
    myMatrix.preScale(-1.0f, 1.0f);
    cleaned = Bitmap.createBitmap(cleaned, 0, 0, cleaned.getWidth(), cleaned.getHeight(), myMatrix, false);
  }

Now the question is - is it simply my device (Samsung SGS i9000, running ICS) that causes problems or something else?
