Yes, I have used gThumb for downloading the images with selected "rotate images" checkbox.
I found out, that physical image rotating via the exif orientation is possible after downloading the images:
1. select the image(s) in gThumb
2. menu -> tools -> rotate images -> apply physical transform
=> physical transformation works
So, the problem is still there: physical transformation does not apply during the photo download with selected "rotate images" checkbox.
