Every single time I create a blueprint, it is rotated 180 degrees from the original, always requiring me to rotate it twice to get it back the way I want it. Why on earth would it start off different from the alignment it was taken from?

What are you referring to? Creating blueprints is directionless and maintains that directionless in the result blueprint. What ever your build rotation is when you make the blueprint is what it will be after making it.

Are you using a mod to copy blueprints?

For instance: if your build direction is east (hold an inserter to see it) any blueprint you hold in the cursor will be rotated east. If you make new ones they too will be rotated east.

I've got the same on 0.13.20, blueprints made with direction east come out west when created.. but it's not all the time, because now that I want to test it, it's working like it should Will update when I find out what causes it.

I can confirm. This has happened also in v14 but atm i am not able to reproduce. It didnt happen all the time, i will write if i see it again.

He's saying that the rotation of the blueprint doesnt match the source. Not that its breaking the game, you rotate it until its the way you want anyway. Its not ergonomic.

I have noticed this behaviour too. It doesn't happen every time but I've definitely taken a blueprint of an assembly line only to put it down next to where I just took the blueprint and it places all the belts 180 degrees from how they were when I took the blueprint.

Fixed for 0.14.5.

Ok i just had it again, i guess since its fixed i can spare long elaborations lol
