Haven't made any recent progress on this, but I neglected to post the
workaround. Here it is (snipped from a previous mailing list post):

1. On the device, edit /etc/init.d/opie and add the following line after the 
other "export" lines:

export QWS_CURSOR_ROTATION=90

2. If you used the Opie text editor to do the above you'll then need to fix 
the permissions using this shell command:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/opie

3. Reboot your device (*don't* just restart Opie). You can do this from 
the "Shutdown" icon under the Settings tab.

This will work for spitz, but there's a chance it will still be rotated 
incorrectly on other devices. If that's the case just change the line from 90 
to 180 or 270 and then reboot again.

I will supply a patch and issue corrected packages once I've figured out the
correct solution (at which point you will need to undo the above workaround).
