Sorry, what did you mean by "passive in form but active in form..."? Or was "active in form" a typo so the sentence should have been just "passive in form but active in meaning" perhaps?
Yes, I like middle-passive reflexives. In fact the word itself (reflexive) has a certain ring to it - one of my favourite grammatical terms I think.
