Due to the lack of a full example FO file I can't be sure I fully
understand what exactly the problem is. Given that you're using
relatively positioned block-containers I assume you're using the latest
release (0.91beta) despite your comments on 0.20.5 because 0.20.5 can't
handle relatively positioned block-containers.
I had to try to reproduce what you're doing. Anyway, let's do some FO
theory. XSL 1.0, 6.5.3, "block-container" says: "The size of the
viewport-area and the reference-area has to be fixed in the
inline-progression-direction. It must be specified unless the
inline-progression-direction is parallel to the
inline-progression-direction of the reference-area into which the areas
generated by this flow object are placed."
In the case you're rotating the block-container's content area (ex.
reference-orientation="90", the above citation kicks in and you need to
specify either the width or inline-progression-dimension property on the
block-container. That FOP didn't complain about your not doing that
tells me there's still a problem in our code.
You've specified text-align="center" on the outer block. What's your
intention? Centering the image? That won't work if the reference
orientation is 90 or 270 on the block-container. In that case, you have
to specify display-align="center" on the block-container.
So, you see you proably need to do a few additional things for the cases
where you want to rotate images. If inline-container was working, this
would obviously be a lot easier, but sadly that element isn't
implemented, yet.
Here's a working example of a snippet that displays a rotated image
centered:
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90" display-align="center"
inline-progression-dimension="3cm">
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="myimage.png" content-height="3cm"
content-width="3cm" display-align="center"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:block>
