Annotation with Null geometry will not rotate when corresponding feature is rotated.
Workaround
To get the new annotation to rotate when it is created, 1. Populate a field with the rotation angle.2. Set up the label properties to use the angle by field parameter. 3. Rotate the point. 4. Update the point feature class attribute with the new angle.5. Populate the text field that drives the annotation.When the label engine runs to place the text it will pull the angle from the field to rotate the annotation.
