I find that rotation only works when the objects have just been selected afresh. If you move them first, they dont all rotate, so you have to move, unselect, reselect, than rotate.
Ah, let's call this 'a feature'.
When you move the group of objects you have to Right click -> Unselect (not Unselect All) and then you can rotate the group around the mouse pointer position.
