The documentation of the driver ( http://gdal.org/frmt_netcdf.html ) gives a 
hint :

"Configuration Options

    GDAL_NETCDF_BOTTOMUP=[YES/NO] : Set the y-axis order for import, 
overriding the order detected by the driver. This option is usually not needed 
unless a specific dataset is causing problems (which should be reported in GDAL 
trac).
"

So try :

gdal_translate in.nc out.tif --config GDAL_NETCDF_BOTTOMUP NO

Normally netcdf files are generally in bottom-up order and GDAL correct this. 
But there might be a problem in the logic that detect bottom-up or top-bottom 
order.

If the above doesn't work, replace NO by YES. Hopefully one of the value will 
make you happy ;-)

As noted in the doc, it might be usefull that you create a ticket in 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/newticket and attach the file or provide a link to 
it to see if the autodetection logic can be improved.

Best regards,
