Yes, gthumb is seriously broken in this regard.  There are at least two
bugs outstanding on that issue:

By "rotating the coefficients" he means a lossless rotation of the
stored image pixels (as opposed to just changing the exif indicator).
This is done by rotating the stored 8x8 blocks of DCT coefficients in
the JPEG data, hence the term "coefficients."
