The "Reset Exif orientation" function did something different. All it 
did was reset the exif orientation tag to "top left". It didn't 
physically transform the data.

However, I may have misunderstood what you are trying to do.

If the extension is included with gThumb, it can be enabled or disabled 
by default. I would disable this by default, because the average user 
will not need it, and would be confused by its function.

Time for a detailed (step-by-step) bug report with sample images, then.

Orientation tag problems get confusing at times.
