Hello Moritz,
sorry for the late answer; I've been busy for some time.
Concerning your questions:
The main point in the provided examples is: log(0) is undefined (or it
is -infinity). It seems as if pgfplots takes log(ymin) = log(0) =
undefined and treats it as if you did not provide ymin at all, thereby
ignoring the value. This shouldn't happen; it should complain instead.
I'll take a note on my todo list. Nevertheless, it explains why your
experiments with "/pgfplots/axis x line=bottom,/pgfplots/axis y
line=left" did not have the desired effect -- pgfplots ignored the
undefined ymin=0 value and took the value of the data files instead.
Consequently, the "axis x line=middle" which, according to the manual,
should pass through "y=0", has no effect for logarithmic axes since
log(y) for y<=0 is undefined. Instead, it has the same effect like axis
x line=bottom.
Sorry for the improper sanity checking in this case... it will be fixed.
Concerning the "rotate" problem: try adding "transform shape" near
rotate=-90, it appears to fix the problem according to my tests.
I will try to improve this such that it doesn't need to be provided
manually.

All you did was correct -- except for the ymin=0. You will have to use
either a linear (non-logarithmic) y axis, or you should resort to some
strictly positive ymin which is "small enough" like ymin=1e-16 .
Best regards
Christian
