The control points are generated automatically in your case (probably autopano-sift-c? you can check that in your preferences). The control point generator does not care about the orientation of the pictures - it can match in all directions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale-invariant_feature_transform). Once all these control points are generated (this is automatic with the assistant), the image parameters are optimized, some control points are pruned, and the preview is shown. In your case the wrong control points caused some of the images to be flipped upside down. Hugin then changes the orientation of the images in the control point window, which makes it look like it has read the image upside down - but it hasn't, it's just a cosmetic thing. Try dragging and dropping the images in a blank hugin project and see how the images appear in the control point window.
