I can confirm it does this - no idea why.
And it doesn't matter which way you rotate.
If you want to control the numbering and path then drag copies of a camera and it will insert it in the path (as that camera + 1) and will re-number those after it automatically.
As a work-around (dirty word I know) if you want a perfect circle of cameras then draw a circle and manually place them.
