Comment(by blahedo):

 I wondered about that, which is why I was careful to point out that even
 so, the directional pad isn't working.

 I've just done some additional triage work, and it's even weirder.
 Apparently there's two levels of click on that button, like the shutter of
 a point-n-shoot camera: push down a little bit and there's one click, push
 a little harder and there's a second click.  I have no idea what the
 intended semantics for this distinction would be, but they are
 distinguished by the software:  the first, shallow click works as I
 described in the initial bug report, i.e. irrespective of screen rotation,
 the arrow that scrolls the page down in unrotated mode will continue to
 scroll it down.  However, if you do the "deep click", *then* the rotated
 direction starts to register, somehow in addition to the unrotated
 direction, so that in a 90° rotation mode the page will actually scroll
 diagonally.  In 180° rotated mode (upside down), where the deep/shallow
 behaviour would be in opposition, the shallow one wins: if I press the
 unrotated down arrow (which is currently pointing up), the page scrolls
 down.

 Incidentally, I've been doing most of the above triage work with the
 screen just rotated and not in full e-book mode, but I did verify that it
 does act the same even after I flip the screen around and fold it down to
 hide the keyboard.
