I will also look through the other node ordering.  I think all of the quadratic volumetric elements have different node orders.  If you already tested the tetrahedron, but not the others then I will send you the line of code to reorder the second order prism (C3D15).  I think the others would be fine.

Actually I think only the linear elements have been tested: if you get a chance give all the 2nd order Abaqus elements a try...

Looking at th 2.8.2 source, line 245 of the header file Geo/MHexahedron.h needs to reorder the local node numbers.  There are examples in the lines above and below.  The local node coordinates are in the Gmsh and CCX docs.  Double check it, but this should be correct (these are the comments from my translator):
