Things are fine. This is just that using 'proj' for such operation is 
inapproprate. You should use the new 'cct' binary.

'proj' is just for plain-old projection methods that take long, lat as input, 
whereas here input coordinates are in the projected space

echo 1000 0 0 | cct +proj=helmert +convention=coordinate_frame +theta=-162000

outputs
     707.1068       707.1068        0.0000           inf

(162000 arc-second = 45 deg)

(due to a current oddity of cct, you need to specify 3D coordinates, or add "-
z 0" in the parameters )
