This error has been occurring for some time now, and unfortunately,
while I would like to keep up the recent releases of LMTX, it is
essential that I should be able to rotate tables and images. Does
anyone know of a fix?

Richard,

a minimal sample with images would read:

   \setupexternalfigures[location=default]
   \starttext
   \placefigure[90, here]{Rotated sample}{\externalfigure[hacker.jpg]}
   \input zapf
   \stoptext

I don’t know why, but both MkIV and current latest (LMTX from
2021.01.22 09:41) place the rotated figure on a different page (with 90
and 270).

LMTX misplaces next paragraph on next page with both 90 and 270.

To show the issues with tables, a minimal sample would help. I’m afraid
I don’t have any experience rotating tables.
The code is not different from mkiv but instead we swap dimens using a primitive. When you set \overloadmode=4 (which can be interesting as it might reveal issues in a style) the run will quit with an error ... this is a fix:

\def\strc_floats_set_page_variant
  {\bgroup
   \strc_floats_set_local_hsize
   \ifcase\c_strc_floats_rotation\else
% Swapping fails in overloadmode and is also wrong (as it then is persistent due
     % to global being inherited).
    %\swapdimens\hsize\vsize
     \scratchdimen\hsize
     \hsize\vsize
     \vsize\scratchdimen
   \fi

(it also indicates that we're cheating with the sizes which when it happens global is pretty dangerous ... it works but i admit that it is not nice)
