No dice in pcbnew. I probably forgot to mention that, too. The problem
is in pcbnew. I take it this is supposed to work? I notice that it
does work as I expect in eeschema (I can rotate with "R" in the middle
of a move).

Please update your build. That version string is showing that your
current build is over 4 months old (it is from early June), and a loy
of bugs have been fixed since then.
