Wrong. SR has nothing to say about what happens when frames change.
Special relativity (SR) (aka the special theory of relativity) is the
physical theory of measurement in inertial frames of reference
proposed in 1905 by Albert Einstein in his article "On the
Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

Because you say so? The very page you cite says:

Special relativity does not account for gravity, but it
can deal with accelerations.

Why not *learn* from that article?

Can it teach me how to account for the reversal of time dilation in
the experiment described in the OP?

No article can teach you what you are unwilling to learn. You
might have noticed that it flat-out contradicts the very claim
you were making when you cited it, and you could take a clue
from that. Your contradictory theory is your own doing, not
SR's, nor even Wikipedia's.

The source I recommend is the one that helped me when I was
baffled by the twin's paradox. It's by Einstein, so there's
no plausible argument that it's a misunderstanding of
relativity.

To be clear: I claimed that, contrary to your reporting, SR is
consistent, and it is. I claimed to resolve your paradox, and
I did. I claimed the Einstein explanation I cited contains the
key concepts in understanding where you went wrong, and it
does. I did *not* claim I could get you to learn anything.
