No this information is not ok.
the mount can flip prior or after meridian, but you have to set correctly your guide/slew limit.
About drivers confusion and so on, 
you have to take care in sgp what is set in youir profile/configuration.
it sounds like your defaukt setup in sgp is not ok (bad drviers and maybe bad meridian flip settings)
you should check this.
