This is not surprising because if image A is an apple, its mirror image A' is also an apple. Adding A' to your dataset is just plain ol' regularization. It is meant to lower bias, to prevent overfitting.

It's not surprising, but highly necessary because you might otherwise learn too little about structural features, and too much about unnecessary things such as the background colour of some objects.
