No, they unwind because the angle drive jams.

I'm not arguing your point though - you're absolutely correct that they 
should be wound the other way

The gears cannot be flipped. They are screw gears, and one is larger 
than the other. Turning them around will no more reverse the rotation 
than turning a regular bolt around gives it a left-handed thread
