Still reproducible in 12.04. It seems that the QuickTime file format uses a 3x3 transformation matrix to encode a mapping from 'camera space' to 'display space'. In the case of simple 90° and 180° rotations that matrix is all zeros and (minus) ones. So, this should just be a case of getting the bytes of the transformation matrix and working out which way to do the rotation.
