quiver arrows reverse in all polar projections except orthographic. Why?

Hi

I'm trying to plot vectors in the Southern ocean using basemap and matplotlib.
To illustrate my problem I've created a zonal jet at 60S.
I have U and V as 2D arrays and lon and lat as 1D arrays, all with cyclic point added and lon is from -180 to 180.
If I plot in orthographic projection the vectors correctly shows eastward motion, but if I use any of the polar projections (spstere, splaea spaeqd) the vectors reverse!
This is really strange and oddly enough it does not seem to happen if I make the same plot over the North Pole.

I've noted that in the southern hemisphere lon_0 has a different meaning for orthographic projection than for spstere, splaea etc.
So to orient the maps the same way I must pass lon_0=0 in orthographic projection and lon_0=180 in polar stereographic projection if I plot southern hemisphere.
But this is not the case in the Northern hemisphere.
Could this be part of the problem?

Here's the script that creates the results:

Here's the contourf of u and v

and here are the vectors

まず、リンクされたスクリプト plot_quiver_bug_test.py を実行し、Southern Ocean について orthographic、polar stereographic、Lambert azimuthal、azimuthal equidistant の結果を比較します。各投影によって quiver ベクトルがどのように変換されるかを追跡します。完了条件は、orthographic 投影の場合と同様に、極投影でも東向きのベクトルが正しく方向付けられたままになることです。
