I don't like option 5 at all (reverse the meaning of the keywords) as it doesn't fit my mental model at all and it is: 1. confusing (as noted by Tab) 2. conflicting with what those same keywords mean elsewhere in the CSS specs: e.g. background-position (in combination with background-repeat) means stick the background in the X Y corner (where X and Y are the keywords), and repeat from there (basically indicating a direction) [1]. I'm perfectly fine with dropping those keywords entirely (angle should be enough for 99.5% of the use cases). Eventually adding a keyword to indicate a corner to corner gradient – though I agree with Tab that (+ -)45deg covers that plenty well (visually) in my tests.
