This is what is supposed to happen, and it is what 2.10.x did.

If this isn't happening, it's a bug (an important one).

Please file a bug report with sample photos and a method to reproduce 
the bug.

It is supposed to take the initial tag into account.


It is entirely possible that something broke in 2.11.x. If so, we do 
need to track it down. My current cameras don't set orientation tags, 
and I haven't looked at the new code closely, so I might not see the 
problem...
