I did a quick Gramcord search for perfect passive or middle forms of
MIMNHiSKOMAI, and came up with only two. The other is in 2 Tim 1:4, which
reads:
EPIPOQWN SE IDEIN, MEMNHMENOS SOU TWN DAKRUWN, hINA CARAS PHRWQW
In this context, I think it's pretty clear that Paul is recalling Timothy's
tears. Similarly, in 1 Cor 11:2, I think it's pretty clear that the
Corinthians are remembering Paul, and not the other way around.
So I think it's probably middle in both cases.
