Comment (by msaggiorato):

 I just posted a patch for this, that fixed it in my case.

 I implemented it in production for my site using a separate class that
 extends the load method of WP_Image_Editor_GD. (To avoid touching the WP
 Core files)

 With this fix, original images are kept untouched, and thumbnails are
 generated correctly. I think the EXIF Orientation head will be lost in
 thumbnails, but i don't think that's a problem, since they will be in the
 correct size and orientation now.

 PS: I tried several locations in the exif_read_data array, because i've
 found online that the Orientation header can be present in several places.

 This is the first time I post a patch, so if I did something wrong, please
 let me know.
