Solution:
Recall that points P and Q inside △ABC are called isogonally conjugate if PAB = QAC and PBC = QBA. Then it also holds that PCA = QCB.
Lemma. The feet of the perpendiculars from points P and Q to the lines BC,CA and AB lie on the same circle.
Proof. Let Pa and Qa be, respectively, the feet of the perpendiculars from P and Q to BC; similarly we denote Pb,Qb,Pc,Qc. From AP b P c = APP c = AQQ b = AQ c Q b it follows that △APbPc∼△AQcQb, so the points Pb,Pc,Qb,Qc lie on the same circle k, whose center is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the segments PbQb and PcQc, which is precisely the midpoint U of the segment PQ. Similarly, the points Pc,Pa,Qc,Qa are also equidistant from the point U, so both Pa and Qa also lie on the circle k.
Suppose that the perpendiculars from X,Y and Z to BC,CA and AB, respectively, intersect at the point P. If the point Q is isogonally conjugate to the point P in △ABC, then by the Lemma the feet of the perpendiculars from Q to BC,CA and AB are precisely the points A1,B1 and C1.
Let us denote by A0,B0 and C0, respectively, the intersections of the internal angle bisectors at A,B and C with the opposite sides. As usual, BC=a,CA=b and AB=c. From the ratio BA0:A0C=c:b we find BA1=A0C=b+cab and, similarly, A1C=b+cac,CB1=c+abc,B1A=c+aba,AC1=a+bca and C1B=a+bcb. We now have

0=(BA12−A1C2)+(CB12−B1A2)+(AC12−C1B2)=b+ca2(b−c)+c+ab2(c−a)+a+bc2(a−b)=(b+c)(c+a)(a+b)a4(b−c)+b4(c−a)+c4(a−b)−(b−c)(c−a)(a−b)(ab+bc+ca)=−(b+c)(c+a)(a+b)(b−c)(c−a)(a−b)(a+b+c)2
from which it follows that a=b or a=c or b=c.
Second solution. As in the first solution, BA1=A0C=b+cab,A1C=b+cac,CB1=c+abc, B1A=c+aba,AC1=a+bca and C1B=a+bcb. Let us denote BX=x,CY=y and AZ=z. The power of the point A gives AB1⋅AY=AC1⋅AZ, i.e. c+aby+a+bcz=c+ab2. Similarly we obtain a+bcz+b+cax=a+bc2 and b+cax+c+aby=b+ca2. From this it follows that b+c2ax=b+ca2+a+bc2−c+ab2 which reduces to x=21a−2a(a+b)(a+c)(b+c)(b−c)(b2+c2+ab+ac+bc), etc. The condition that the three perpendiculars are concurrent is
0=(a+b)(a+c)(b+c)[x2−(a−x)2+y2−(b−y)2+z2−(c−z)2]=(b+c)2(c−b)(T−a2)+(c+a)2(a−c)(T−b2)+(a+b)2(b−a)(T−c2)=a2(b+c)2(b−c)+b2(c+a)2(c−a)+c2(a+b)2(a−b)−(a−b)(b−c)(c−a)T=−(a−b)(b−c)(c−a)(a+b+c)2
where T=a2+b2+c2+ab+bc+ca.
