I'd rather believe it is a case of unfortunate choosen coordinates.
If you use basic Object coordinates for rotation, the results aren't
necessarily what you expect. For proper results, you should subtract the
VObject coordinates from the coordinates of the center of the bounding box,
or do a translate affine transformation.

So for a coordinate pair of (100,100) and a center of the bbox of (120,
120), you use (-20,20) as coordinates for the rotation, instead of (100,100)
