Actually, worst than this, it is assumed that a rectangle in map units
can express a size in device units. And the (pre-rotation-commit) code
to compute that (size in device units) was transforming the upper-left
and lower-right corners of the rectangle to device coordinates and
computing their distance.

For a 90 degrees rotated extent that gives a size of 0 in one direction...
