You're going to find this interesting. First notice that the title of the photo (entry.title.text if you're using the Python client) doesn't show up anywhere visible on the site.
Now compare the entry where it fails: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/bruno.clermont/album/Espagne2008/photoid/5264885576240455778 <title type="text">cimg7881</title> To the one where it works: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/bruno.clermont/albumid/5264885271636865585/photoid/5270449675094321442 <title type="text">reuploaded.jpg</title> Now let me tell you a small secret - only JPEG images can be rotated at the moment. Fair enough, right? But how does the UI know what is a JPEG and what isn't? Oh dear... :) So anyway, it's a bug we have to fix, but in the mean time if you make sure the upload title matches the original filename (or at least ends in .jpg) you should see the rotate buttons show up again.
