As a generic argument, the case of having two opposite values mapped to the same thing does appear counterintuitive and should therefore be avoided. I don't see where the special condition ("if the property's axis is not parallel") makes this case special enough to override the expectation that these are opposites. (However, I'm prepared to find out that I'm wrong on that after all).
The principle of not favoring one class of writing system over another only goes so far: absent any definite information you have to pick one; I'm not sure why this case is different.
If there's a particularly common scenario where the axes are not parallel, then the fallback should be selected based on what conditions are most common for that scenario. I don't know if @dbaron is correct in his second reason, but if that can be borne out, would be the stronger of the two in my view.
