OK. Like usual, it's when you send the message that you get the answer by your own. :)
The problem is an underlying issue where the expresssion "myfield" seems to not be the same as "myfield" field ie, instead of selecting the field from the data-defined "Field type" menu, I was mechanically opening the data-defined "Edit..." expression dialog and selecting the same field. The field values are applied to rotation but it's not recognized as a field the tool could update. Should I report a bug or is it intended/known limitation?
