I don't consider this a bug.  It's a feature of how the program works.  
I think that the current logical partitioning of data and transforms is 
similar to Blender's and should stay that way.  Vertex data, which is 
modified in Blender's edit mode, is contained in the factories.  
Rotations, scalings, and translations performed in Blender's object
mode are applied to actual incarnations of the object (meshobj).

We should probably document this better, so people are not confused.  

Perhaps for _library_ output we could apply these transforms to 
vertex data before output.  Is this what people want?
