Reproduced on Crunchbang Waldorf (Debian stable):
- Opening the attached bug.svg file in Inkscape (0.48.3.1 and trunk revision 13439) shows that the text is already rotated (and thus the exported EPS file shows the same issue).
- Opening the same file in Firefox, Batik 1.7 (Squiggle) and Viewnor shows as expected.

But:
- An SVG file created from the attached ODG file with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 is correct, and thus the exported EPS is correct too.

The LO version packaged with Trusty is far more recent (4.2.3) than the
one in Debian stable and something changed in the ODG to SVG exporter.
Now the rotation transformation is not applied to the group that
contains the text, but to the text span directly. Inkscape doesn't seem
to handle such a transform correctly.
