The cross section for electron-induced proton knockout reactions with polarized beam and target is computed in a DWIA model. The analysis is focused on the electron helicity-dependent (HD) piece of the cross section. For the case of in-plane emission a new symmetry is found in the HD cross section, which takes opposite values for specific opposing pairs of nuclear orientations, explaining why the fifth response (involving polarized electrons, but unpolarized nuclei) is zero for this choice of kinematics. Even when this symmetry breaks down in the case of nucleon emission out of the scattering plane, it is shown that it is still present in the separate response functions. A physical explanation of these results is presented using a semi-classical model of the reaction based on the PWIA and on the concept of a nucleon orbit with its implied expectation values of position and spin.
