I really think that the mechanism for opting in to honoring EXIF
should make the browser act as though the rotation were in the image
format.

It's a compatibility hack (because implementations were initially
shipping without EXIF support, and there may be a dependency on
that), but once the developer has opted in, everything should really
act like the rotation is part of the image format.
