Fitting a node doesn't respect rotation

When fitting a node, a rotation given to \begin{tikzpicture} is ignored. See attachment:

If one leaves out [rotate=90], then all works fine. But with the rotation, the coordinates are rotated, but the node is fitted to some other coordinates.

Thanks for the report. Here is a workaround.

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{fit}
\begin{document}
\tikzset{inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt}
\makeatletter
\pgfkeys{%
/tikz/rotate/.forward to = /tikz/fit/rotation angle,
/tikz/fit/rotation angle/.initial = 0,
/tikz/fit rotated/.code = \def\tikz@lib@fit@rotate{%
\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/fit/rotation angle}}\tikz@lib@fit{#1}}
\makeatletter
\begin{tikzpicture}[rotate=90]
\coordinate (bar) at (0,0);
\coordinate (foo) at (2,1);
\draw[red](bar)--(foo);

\node[draw,fit=(bar) (foo)] {no rot};
\node[draw,fit rotated=(bar) (foo),red]{rot};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

This is the same as bug #128, which is now fixed.
