I have played with this. At first I thought it had do with symmetry, but now I think it is the presence of an aromatic ring. For example, if you load toluene in the dismal applet, then rotate it to look down the methyl-ring bond, send it to jsme and then return it to jmol, it will rotate the structure (or re-download it) so that the ring is face-on. I do not see the issue in molecules without an aromatic ring, even substituted cyclohexane seem to retain the new orientation in jmol.
