I can confirm this behavior. Image-program read the exif-tag, why doesn't writer use this information and turns the image. Could be that it will ask, if the image should be turned - like GIMP does. has this ever worked with a previous version of LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org? please provide details on that question before using "regression" keyword. also it would help if you attach an example image that is inserted with the wrong orientation.
