it's the latest version from svn

yes, you'd need to recompile

the current code rotates the truetype symbol around the center of it's
bounding box (the bounding box of the "ink" extent of the symbol, it
ignores the advance). Specifying an anchor point (for truetype *and*
other symbols) is imo not to be expected soon unless someone either
provides a patch or funds the development.
