So, your problem is that somewhere down the path, some software doesn't
take in account the exif rotation, so you want to rotate the picture
once for all and reset the flag?

Bingo. More specifically, I do not want iPhoto to have a "secret"
rotated version; I want the file in my external library to be "correct".

Then sad to say iPhoto is probably not the best software to use. As it
is it makes all sorts of unusual things to store images, which I find
annoying
You would do better with Photoshop Elements 8, which has a better
catalogue/organiser feature than the clumsy iPhoto set up. That will
probably do what you need it to do.
If you download the correctly oriented files from your camera, to a
folder on your Mac, the originals should open oriented as you had set
them in camera, without having to make a PSE copy. They should also
open in Preview correctly oriented without issue

If you have a little more available cash consider Lightroom 3 which
will do all you want.
....or step up to CS5 and Bridge.

For the most part iPhoto gathers dust on my hard drive.

1) change/upgrade the software down the path

2) http://jpegclub.org/losslessapps.html
