Cannot reproduce. I've tried

* Starting afresh, Document>New
* Starting afresh, Document>Open
* Opening on the command line with existing doc, Document>New
* Opening on the command line with existing doc, Document>Open

In all cases the mode can be toggled off, and symmetry is apparent.

It is possible that symmetric drawing mode should be toggled off then
loading a new document. Would that be a better system? We do reset edit
settings when loading new documents, so it'd be OK to touch this.

Can this be corrected by recentering, View>Fit, or by moving layers? Is
the axis of reflection is anything other than the y axis at x=0?

Sometimes symmetry mode being engaged is non-obvious. That could be a
problem. Ideas for improving it are welcome (perhaps it deserves
on-screen status or feedback like zooming).
