Mirroring the geometry will not help you there; you will need to mirror 
either (a) the original texture images, or (b) the textures.

This also has nothing to do with POV-Ray's left-handed world coordinate 
system (which is actually just the default, and can be changed by 
choosing appropriate camera parameters), but an incompatibility of the 
UV coordinate system. As this is clearly defined in POV-Ray and cannot 
be changed (except by messing with the textures), it must therefore be 
considered a bug in the exporter (unless you're going via an interim 
file format in which UV coordinate space is poorly defined).
