From the lady's (follow's) perspective.
Started close, his left to my right.
Both step back.
He gives a slight pull toward himself (as for a travelling return), but
... takes my hand high and to my right.
What do I do?
a) a full 360 turn, only offset to his left (my right)
b) a turn on the spot, no matter where his hand is
c) walk past, under his arm and a half turn to my ... errrrr ... left (to face).
d) something else.

Seems to me as though this is the lead for a touch turn as in West coast swing. Follower steps forward, leader raises flat left hand and turns follower on the spot 360 degrees clockwise, follower steps back (or probably both step back if danced in MJ mode). Is it this simple. As a follower in WCs your way would be blocked by the leader and you would have little choice but to turn on the spot. This might cause confusion in MJ. If the lead is good enough it should be clear where you should go.........if they give you space and iivite you to travel across then you should do so and be prepared for whatever comes next.
