It is intended behaviour that Settings and HAM will rotate out-of-the-box (i.e. with "force rotation" off) with the CSSU.
Yeah, I knew it was expected behaviour, and it certainly doesn't cause any major issues. I'd just prefer an option to disable it.

I think every single app I use which supports rotation has the option, and I think it ought to be available for everything which supports rotation. I'd really prefer a system-wide setting, with the option of then using the system-wide setting throughout or overriding on a per-app basis - I'm not sure how feasible that'd be though.

I've filed enhancement requests for hildon-menu and hildon-control-panel (there isn't currently a component for HAM, and as I hardly ever use it I don't really care about that one):
