Christoph's questions are beside the point IMHO (the behavior of clones needs to be fixed when inside transformed groups, not what happens when changing the page size/orientation) and beyond the scope of the bug tracker (ask on one of the inkscape mailing lists).

Nevertheless, some notes:
a) There is a reason why the transformation is added to top-level layers/groups when the origin of the GUI coordinate system is changed. Could it be done differently? Possibly, but that's not what this bug is about (see bug summary).
b) The transform attribute of the parent layer/group is not "used by the tiled clones function": clones (tiled or not) are affected when they are inside a transformed group (see bug summary), because apparently the compensation of parent transforms is not fully implemented [1].
