When you say Picasa and Microsoft don'T save it the same way, do you mean they
are both writing to the Microsoft regions section? Since Microsoft implemented
the initial tags, shouldn't their way of doing it be the actual truth?  Also,
in any case, could there be at least an option to rotate tags one at a time and
for the whole picture (the reasoning to have both is that once DigiKam starts
to add its own auto detected tags, we end up with rotated AND unrotated tags).

We could then maybe get a tool that would allow to auto-manually scan every
file containing this regions section to validate they are fine. The biggest
problem right now is that it looks like the face recognition AI uses thes
existing tags to "learn" someone and these wrongly rotated tags breaks it.
