IMHO it's not that landscape does not work correctly but that the AMS 
classes do not have landscape support (which might be possible, since 
they provide a style for a journal which is always printed portrait).
So what shall we do? We cannot set geometry /always/ for landscape, 
because other classes have landscape support -- KOMA has very good 
landscape support, the standard classes look strange (very wide 
margins), but if someone likes it -- and we cannot force people to use 
the geometry layout instead which looks different (btw: if you chose 
"Custom Margins" and leave the margin inputs empty, you'll get the 
geometry settings).

We could of course use geometry for the AMS-classes and other classes 
who don't support landscape natively. I haven't checked, but it seems 
to me that ejour belongs to these ones, too. Are we supposed to do this?
What do the LaTeX gurus say?
