Thanks Uwe. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic and thanks to your tip I've
learned that their TeXLive packages are rather old (TeXLive 2007, no
package manager yet). I was able to manually download and install these
newer packages from CTAN in my local texmf directory, and my problem is
solved, thanks! For the benefit of anyone else reading this later, I
used this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX.

(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/memoir/memoir.cls
Document Class: memoir 2005/09/25 v1.618 configurable document class
That might be your problem. The versions of memoir your are using is outdated
and you probably suffer from a bug in memoir. I'm using memoir 2009/11/17
v1.61803398c which works fine.
I therefore recommend to update memoir. (The easiest way to do this is by using
the TeXLive package manager that is available since TeXLive 2008.)
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/rotating/rotating.sty
Package: rotating 1997/09/26, v2.13 Rotation package
Same problem; I'm using rotating 2009/03/28 v2.16a and strongly recommend to update to this version since it fixes many bugs.
