Hello indeed. I've been meaning to reply to this for a while...
from time to time coot 0.4.1 stereo flipps front and back.
This is almost certainly a hardware issue.
And it seems to us, that the depth cueing is wired. front and back are
darkened, the rotation plane is highlighted.
Yes.

We do rotate about a point in the brightest plane. However that plane
is positioned at 7/10 of the viewing box depth from the back.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you using stereo? There will be a
certain amount obscuring of the rotation centre by object in front (and
that, generally is a good thing). To remove that completely, we would
have to move the rotation axis onto the front clipping plane. I don't
think that that's a good idea.
At some stage I intend to allow the users to tweak the setting here
(i.e. "unwire" it) but it is a low priority.
