Yes, the default rotation method on LzView (inherited by lzText) and LzSprite (inherited by lzTextSprite) just sets the rotation property on the whole sprite.
I don't know why setting rotationZ works, but plain "rotation" causes the device text to vanish. Maybe we can just replace the line in LzSprite that sets rotation to set rotationZ instead??
