IMHO fine:

  • female doctor
  • woman who is a doctor

IMHO weird:

  • woman doctor
  • a female who is a doctor

So it's not a reversal. Using “woman” like an adjective is still weird!

I'm with you, but I've been reading online that "woman doctor" is now the preferred form.

I see, that is strange!
