That is to expect because the normals get messed up with a minus value. The normals of your object then stay the same but the normals of the cloth surface are reversed.

Yes. Nothing to do else of fixing by user. This is how calculated specular refractions by renderer. It expects the correctly used face normals while enter and exit the object surfaces. Using negative values will cause inversed normals. This result is same with symmetry or negative scaled objects.
