Allowing override of the thumb rotation would provide you real time rotation...
I'm not sure about the need to rotate the original file; ideally original files should be left as-is and kept archival.
In my opinion, we need to solve image rotation as part of a larger project to support in-browser rasterized image manipulation. A bot shouldn't be necessary here. We should have the ability, in a Web browser, to crop, rotate, and make other basic manipulations to rasterized images. The fact that we have a media repository using software called MediaWiki that doesn't include an in-browser basic photo editor is pretty silly.
