perepisyvat'sja

Certainly. There is a book by Maria Rutkowska "Nie znane polszczyznie
rosyjskie prefigowane deriwaty odczasownikowe..." (Wroclaw 1981). Although
if I remember correctly she did not include all possible circumfixes. But
s- -sja is one of those that are there: spet'sja, srabotat'sja etc. Another
source for circumfixes is the last section in Vinogradov's Russkij jazyk,
the last of 15 (if I remember the number correctly) usages of -sja is this
"joint venture". (Can't find my copy at the moment to check the number!)
