Bug Description
eog doesn’t handle the orientation tag right.
To support it, you have to display the picture rotated (and/or flipped) according to the spec. Right now it isn’t.
When it’s rotated, don’t forget the thumbnail wants to be rotated, too (or its orientation tag changed).
If you go for the hard-save solution (at eog seems to be doing as of now), don’t forget to rotate the thumbnail, too, and strip the tag from both (or set it to 1). Right now this is somehow inconsistent, but I couldn’t figure out how it behaves.

This is still occurring on Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" with eog 3.10.2. I've attached a test case which should display sideways but instead displays upright in eog. ImageMagick shows the image in the correct orientation.
