It exists (as a last resort) to get the nominated value into the xy file. Because the angle determination isn't very smart, and probably can't ever be made smart enough. Yes, in particular non-90'd rotations are not handled automatically at all. There's also another undoc'ed attribute "xy-centre" which if you set to "origin" changes the location written into the xy file to be the element's actual origin rather than the element's "pad/pin centre of mass". Which is needed for BGAs/PGAs with missing corner pins.
