Everything I have read points to the "3D Driveguard". I appreciate the feature
and would not so much mind the screen auto-reorientation both
a) the screen orientation would auto reset even when the screen is locked
b) screen auto-reorientation could be controlled or disabled in the system

I believe the accelerometer in this model is intended for "HP 3D
Driveguard" to park HDD drive heads to help protect the drive from fall
damage. So the sensor was probably not intended to reflect the
orientation of the screen.
I looked for a BIOS or firmware update on HPs site but didn't find any
Right, it seems wrong, but is that an hardware issue/the rotation sensor
providing bug informations?

Title:
Screen rotates upside-down when
I find this behavior unexpected, confusing, and user-hostile. But if
there's no way to do anything about it at least it's documented here.
Thanks for the pointer to iio-sensor-proxy, I've removed that package:
$ sudo apt remove --purge iio-sensor-proxy
You can close this bug if there's nothing
So yeah, it looks like your laptop has a rotation sensor which is
sending the informations GNOME is using. Unsure there is technically a
bug in that behaviour...
