I believe Robert has the answer he was looking for by now - reverse
connection of two wires.

....

That only solves the problem as long as none of the other switches
change _their_ position--as soon as any one of them is switched, he'll
have the same issue.

So, unless he no longer ever uses any of the others after they're all
put in some reference position, switching a traveler doesn't solve the
problem, either. Equivalently and less work, he can put them where he
wants them in the room in question then go turn off whatever is on at
one of the other locations--accomplishes just as much.
