John,

This is just one person's usage, though it is appropriate.  The Callerlab Definitions do no use "Mirror Star Thru" in the definition, but rather say, do the mirror image of a Star Thru.  

From Callerlab website
:
Double Star Thru Timing: 6 From any appropriate formation (e.g. Normal Facing Couples): Those who can Star Thru. Those who can do the mirror image of a Star Thru (an arch is made with the man's left hand and the woman's right hand; the man goes around the arch while the lady goes under). In each part of the call, some dancers must be active. Normal facing couples will end as sashayed couples back-to-back.

It appears that MWSD defines it at the Advanced level:

It is a Mirror Star Thru.  But only if that is what you meant by Reverse!

But I would stick to "Twirl". :-)

I think in MWDS it’s called mirror image star thru (Gents L, Lady’s R).  If I’m calling it for contra dancers, I might explain the terminology, but then just call it “twirl to swap”, being careful to stress the end result: Side by side, both facing the same direction.
