For the hdf files mentioned above, the SRS is EPSG:4326, so that is not 
the problem.

It is rather the extent of the raster. The raster is not aligned to 
latitudes or longitudes, but rather a parallelogram. The coordinates of 
each cell are stored in additional bands. Re-transforming only works if 
GDAL knows the correct extent of the data in degrees.
