I am like you---it bothers me to see Stars upside down. However, if you look at the overall layout of the Confederate Battle Flag. The Battle flag is the red flag with the blue X in the form of St. Andrews cross and within the blue X were 11 stars(5-pointed).
For some flags the Stars are arranged with the one "arm" pointed Up. But some have the stars arranged so the base of the Star(the lower 2 points) are aligned with the line of the X. So the stars are angled the same as the arm of the X. The result is that the star appears to be upside-down when viewed relative to viewers perspective.
does it not have something to do with the fact that it was a flag created during a war time? The Union flag during the civil war had its center star with 2 points up and a single one directly down. I have been lead to believe that an upside down star is reserved to flags created while the country is under distress. That being said any confederate flags that have all their points up are inherently wrong

What does it means when the flag is flown upside down?
An American flag or for that matter any flag flown upside-down is considered a sign of distress... US Code:T36 Ch10.176 (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. Opinions: Mutiny, piracy, sinking, coup, rebellion of the people/government. The fact that any flag flown upside-down means distress is not the whole story however... flags flown upside-down can and are used as a form of protest. The flag is a symbol of control and superiority. The use of such in any other way is considered "desecration."
