In Revit 2023, a mirrored/rotated scope box also mirrors/rotates the content.
I guess that this doesn't work as intended? You should be able to copy/paste and move those boxes freely without interrupting the content (on the drawing).
It's hard to tell which scope boxes have this 'issue' and not.
Having scope boxes with mirrored/rotated content could be useful I guess, but it should be an active choice that the user takes (a tick box or similar)
Dear Marcus, thank you for raising this. I cannot comment on it at all, myself, but I have passed it on to the development team for their feedback and advice.

Hard to tell if this is an API question? Probably if you ask elsewhere they will tell you:
The view is only rotated to match the scope box if you set the view to the scope box as below (dependant or otherwise). If it isn't set to scope box then it is either set to align with true or project north. The elements within the scope box are not rotated by the scope box, how you view them is. Although in the past certain tags didn't respect the orientation set by the scope box within the views set to scope box.
Seems to work the same as always, are you noticing something different between versions or just noting 2023 since that is the version you are using?
Rotation handle indicates rotation of scope box.
Regarding API scope box has no specific class and so doesn't inherit from Instance containing a transform. Also the location is null.
However the geometry is likely always constructed in the same order so analysis of the lines will provide the location, size and orientation. I think this has been demonstrated previously.
Development team should please focus efforts with regards to scope boxes in terms of their creation and manipulation via API, unless I am mistaken I believe it is still not possible to create or manipulate them with the API. i.e. I can find and understand existing ones but lack ability to add them or change them.
That said, the development team have logged this observation as an improvement for investigation:
