I cannot imagine why anyone would want to carry out a level 180' turn in the event of decompression at FL410.
Decompression at that level is potentially fatal (in terms of crew l.o.c.) within half a minute or so. The risk of a descent on track is tiny compared to the risk of remaining level and losing consciousness.

Sounds very odd to me.
