You are correct. The dish feed should be LHC. The feed would work for WAAS
or other GPS satellites while in the beam pattern, but reject satellites
seen through spill over, etc.

Saw this interesting article several years ago about using an 18 inch
dish
pointed at a WAAS satellite:

Notice footnote 12 (on page 9).
Will not a standard GPS antenna have the wrong circular polarisation when
looking into the mirror image of the offset antenna?
I would expect the thing to work due to antenna gain and leakage in the
wrong antenna mode. Ah well...
Cheers,
