Ofcourse they can know. They just have to check for it.

Those programs that do well against mirror go probably all do check for it.

What to do about it is a bigger problem.

My suggestion would be to make an extra search that assumes mirror play by
the opponent.

This has to be taken with a grain of salt, because the opponent could
deviate at any time.

So what could be done is to add a small fraction of the mirror search
winrates to the regular search win rates.

Ok, so I am right about this,  you take advantage of the asymmetry of
captures.  

But go programs do not KNOW they are playing mirror go and would have no
motivation to specifically set this up.   So how is it that some equally
strong programs have no problem while others do?

You setup two ladders that collide.
