Items lose orientation when exiting conveyor

During conveyor transport, the orientation of a flow item may change. For example, side transfers rotate the item by 90 degrees. However, as soon as the item exits the conveyor, these changes are lost. This leads to the following interesting behavior:

Note how the boxes on the sideways conveyor are rotated by 90 degrees, but as soon as they enter the processor, they are magically rotated back.

Is it just me or is this not logical?

Edit: I can see a case for both options, but figuring out what the rotation should have been and setting it on exit is harder than just setting it back to 0 if you don't want it.

They will be the rotation that they were when they entered the conveyor system it looks like. So you might have to re-orient them in an on entry trigger, when they hit the processor.

Thanks Sam, that sounds painful in more complex routing models, such as the below, where the final orientation may depend on both the entry and the exit point, but we'll manage :)
