Well, I'm not sure how to expose this feature in a consistent way. What if we just made LzSprite use rotationZ instead of rotation? Would that degrade the speed and quality of the rendering in general?
If we override LzTextSprite to use rotationZ, that will work as long as the device text is inside of a non-rotated parent, but if you rotate an enclosing view, the device text will still vanish, unless you rotated that parent view with rotationZ instead of rotation. Maybe this is the best compromise for now?
