And that's precisely the question I wanted UX to answer.

Title:
  Shell rotates inappropriately in windowed mode

Status in canonical-pocket-desktop:
  New
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Triaged
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Install latest rc proposed on a nexus 4.
  Attach a bluetooth mouse - this triggers windowed mode.
  Orient device in landscape
  Open weather app - which is locked portrait in the .desktop file

  Shell rotates to become portrait and there's no way to get it out of
  that mode easily.

  The shell should probably ignore the .desktop setting which says that
  an app is portrait only if it's windowed.

  
  ------------- Ubuntu UX Input Request -------

  Does it make sense for Unity to go into Windowed (aka Desktop) mode on
  such a small screen as the Nexus 4?

  It does make sense of course to show a mouse pointer and not display a
  virtual keyboard in response to the availability of those input
  devices. But what about going into windowed (aka Desktop) mode as
  well?
