Apparently the switch used on prior years of these models, part# 84642-04141 behaves the same as the knob on our cars. I've just confirmed, the '07 Camry (and also '04 Camry which uses yet another earlier switch) owners manuals both say:

increase the time between sweeps, and
downward to decrease it.

In contrast, the corresponding diagram and text of the 2011 Camry Owner's manual shows the opposite, consistent with what I've come to expect.
Somehow Toyota saw it more appropriate to reverse things around 2009, give or take a year depending on model, but that decision never carried over to our cars.
It looks like there's one more part number in the mix, 84652-02710. The markings on the 02610 stalk are the same as on our cars, with small triangles and a windshield icon to indicate mist/int/low/high. The earlier 04141 part appears to have used text instead of icons. Oddly, the later 02710 part number seems to have reverted to the older markings, with text rather than icons, but reportedly, its knob functions the same as the 02610 part.
