No it didn't work. When I made the change as you described, I end up printing single sided. So it is a bug indeed. I need to go into printerdrake\change printing system to make it to flip on long edge. This option is really hidden from the user.

I ended fixing the problem in printerdrake (i.e., Mandrake Control Center\Hardware\Printer\Change the printing system). It was not obvious.

Are you using CUPS? Did you set up as root with printerdrake? And what call do you put in your applications? For KDE 'kprinter -stdin' is probably the most useful. This will give you the option of which edge to duplex on (none, long, short). What happens when you print Reverse Portrait? Is the obverse page now the same orientation as the front?
