Inverted Linked Path Param in LPE...??

Dear all,
I’m a little puzzled at this. Does anyone know why when we define path param by linking, the resulting path param is inverted? Compared to pasted path, the resulting param path’s orientation remains the same. An example using Bend Path LPE is shown below. This behavior happens to other LPEs that use path param as well.
Also, does anyone know if we can restrict the path param to link / copy path’s control points *exactly* at the same locations as it’s drawn? Thank you.

Notice, however, that both ways yield the expected results. It’s just the *display* of the linked path param that is incorrectly inverted here.

Quick answer without looking at the code. Perhaps it is a bug related to how paths are stored vs. how LPE path params are stored. One with the y-flip transform, the other without. Just a guess. - Johan

Another hint: it's a regression introduced in Inkscape 0.48 (initial release) - the linked path param in Inkscape 0.47 is displayed correctly. Possibly related to changes / refactoring of the node tool in 0.48.
