That's right. And it's not only Adobe Acrobat that inserts /Rotate (uppercase)
in PDF rotation: for example,
pdftk in.pdf cat 1-endsouth output out.pdf
inserts /Rotate 90. Mac OS X Preview.app is similar.

When pdf tool developers implement pdf rotation, addition of /Rotate may
be the easiest way: there is no need to interpret pdf completely! And also
it is reasonable that users choose rotating pdf before including it into TeX,
therefore insertion of /Rotate occurs frequently.
Most of pdf viewers can understand /Rotate, so they show pdf in proper
orientation. However, current XeTeX and xdvipdfmx cannot understand
/Rotate in pdf. This is the problem.
