The wrong way is a statement of ignorance.. However, we don't know exactly why they would face away from the presumed direction (that being away from itself, or away from the sun) except to assume some other force in space is helping make this so. So, one theory is there is a sort of tidal energy in space and not just a bunch of weak nothing. Perhaps this force is not as potent as gamma rays, as obvious, but perhaps there is enough of it, and enough of where it came from, that it's a very big deal. My suspicion is that even fluctuations in solar activity, jupiter, and our own plate tectonics, could be influenced by the same things which makes the comet tail face the 'wrong way'.
