Hi,
currently (0.48.4) the center of rotation of an object is set to the center of its bounding box after each rotation, however when rotating an asymmetric object multiple times, the bounding box changes and the center of rotation moves and the rotation is not "consistent" (e.g. a 20 degrees rotation followed by a 340 degrees rotation may put the object in a different position than the initial one).
This may be solved by setting the center of rotation to the center of the smallest enclosing circle instead of the center of the bounding box, what do you think?
Maybe as a proof of concept we can start with an extension which draws the smallest enclosing circle of the selected objects, but I need some directions for that.
