Why did that stop the import? That would be an important bug.

It "should be simple" to copy the image_rotation plugin and modify it to 
do the adjustment. (The 2.10.x rotation tool will do this if you specify 
no rotation and enable physical adjust, but the UI has been greatly 
simplified in 2.11.x).

I wouldn't enable it by default, though. Too obscure.

As a workaround for now, selecting the photos and pressing [ followed by 
] should fix your images.
