Is this intended or a bug ?
The joint origin is shown in the mirrored component in the preview with the mirror dialog open, but the final mirrored component does not include the joint origin.
Mirroring components does not mirror joint origins (?)
I can easily reproduce the issue, thank you for the screencast. My best guess is that this is as designed behavior since it is repeatable. I have logged report (FUS-25955), to investigate the issue further. I'll circle back as soon as there is an update. It probably wont' be this week.
Thanks for asking!
Talk to you soon,

Accepted solution
Yes, @TrippyLighting, this is, well, not exactly "correct", but as on purpose. The problem is the nature of the mirror. A Joint Origin is really just a coordinate system. If you mirror a coordinate system, you end up with a left-handed coordinate system, and most CAD software (including Fusion) cannot deal with a left-handed CS. We could have copied a right-handed CS at the same place, but it would have been backward. This is also why we don't mirror joints, since they are CS-based as well.
It's a bit of a research project at the moment. It's not clear to me whether or when we will implement something like this.
