Short description of error
Dupliface relies on vertex order of the face, rather then the face normal

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open attached file to see difference.

The main difference between the two objects is the vertex order of the dupliface. To me, this is unintuitive for the artist... I believe it should be based off the face normal & face center as there is no way to manipulate the vertex order of the face easily.

Checked the file, realize this is quite an awkward setup.

For the moment you have to rotate the quad in editmode to change the face order.
This could be improved or tool added to change face-vertex-order, but its not a bug.
