I am using 1.0.5.19 update and some native applications including a few applications from store open upside down.

It seems that the portrait mode is communcated 180* reverse to them (or when they are opened, it triggers this change).

Affected applications are: Camera, Documents, File browser, webcat (always) and Friends, Tweetian etc when displaying photos in full screen.

This is indeed very annoyying because when I use these apps, which I do often, the swipe down to close and swipe up to see notifications gets reverse.

possible bug? do you need some logs?

I frequently experience this behavior with the zxing barcode scanner: sometimes 90°, sometimes 180% - I have not been able to figure out a pattern yet. Targeting a QR code is pretty uncomfortable when orientation is reversed ;-)

A bit of a relief that the problem went away after rebooting the phone but it had become really annoying. I will possibly check for some logs later today if they are useful?

But I am really not sure what triggered it.
