Axis Name/Icon in Joint not correct Axis

In the Pin-Slot type Joint the axis does not correspond correctly with the name/icon.

For example the Y-axis selection rotates around Y-axis, but the X-axis selection rotates around the Z-axis and the Z-axis selection rotates around the X-axis.

Can you show an example here of where the axes are wrong?  One thing to note is that the axes here are not the global XYZ, but local coordinate systems that are specific to the Joint Origins selected for the joint.  The Z axis of this coordinate system always points away from the disk:

Ah, that probably explains the issue. I had not considered the joint coordinates, always used the global ones.
