Adding images to a rotated shape - bug?

Hi folks,
   Just a quick question regarding the rotation of objects.  When I 
rotate an shape 180 degrees and try to insert an image inside the 
shape, the image is also rotated 180 degrees.  Is there any way to 
rotate an object but have the text/image appear properly?  As an 
interim solution, I've been rotating all of my images accordingly in 
photoshop and then inserting them, but this seems counter-intuitive.

To see what I mean, do the following:

1) Open a doc.
2) Add a triangle shape
3) In the Geometry panel, rotate the image 180 degrees. The triangle 
should now be flipped
4) Add an image. The image will also be flipped, even though it should 
be right side up (atleast in my mind..)

I can see this being a feature if I rotated the shape _after_ I 
inserted the image.  In my mind, I think that if I were to rotate a 
shape, and then insert an image, the image should be right side up.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
  -Paul
