I'd say that's partially an app bug, we let it know what orientation the
device is in and it should translate the accelerometer data.

Same here, it should translate what "landscape" and "portrait" means.

That's a separate bug indeed - fullscreen should be fullscreen, whether
you were originally in side or main stage.

That said, I'm not married to the idea - ultimately we want to leave
more freedom to the user, somewhat forcing the app developers to do a
slightly better job. But if it proves more problematic than useful, we
can always reconsider.

Maybe we need an additional switch in the display indicator that would
indicate the app's preference for display orientation, but allow the
user to force it off.

Personally I hate apps forcing an orientation on me just because they
can.
