component rotation on placement

Why am I able to rotate some components with the space bar during placement but not others?  This question applies in general to multiple types of components and all types of hosting, but at this moment I'm bugged by a couple of ceiling hosted generic model components that don't rotate like some others do.  Is there a setting I'm missing or is it the family category that blocks this?  Component that won't rotate attached below.

Get rid of the flip control

That allows me to flip an already placed component by rotation, but I still can't rotate while placing a new component.

Spacebar rotate? I can.

So can I, after the fact, but not while placing a fresh component.  Is that only possible with face based components?  It seems I can't rotate new light fixtures either.

Neither can I  -- Spacebar Rotate on Placement that is. After the fact I can, as long as I don't have Flip Controls in the Family.
