Buggy DXF output

I'm trying to use Onshape's support for exporting faces to DXF to do some lasercutting, but getting some really weird results. Certain features - so far, always circles - either appear in the wrong place, or don't appear at all. For an example, see the DXF export of this part - one of the screw holes is entirely missing. I suspect it has something to do with mirrored features, but I can't be certain.
Also, onshape exports to DXF in inches, and doesn't give you the option to change that. Many tools, including my lasercutter, require mm, which adds a tiresome scaling step to the process. It'd be really awesome if you could add support for selecting drawing units (and remembering my choice). Of course, better lasercutter DXF export in general would also be really great.

And, even more confusing, setting the exported version to 2013 doesn't fix the bugs - but it does change the dimension it's exported in from inch to mm!
