So, the worldmap has North where it should be if you go by the sun and moon.

/compass says that those celestial bodies set in the North, so it's oriented 90° counterclockwise from the worldmap's compass.

Not really causing problems, just pointing out the inconsistency.

Just givin' this thread a lil' bump, because this issue is still present. Heard some people talking about the compass in chat, so I figured I'd double check.

This has to do with notch's big crusade to have the sun set in the north. He gave up on it a couple of versions ago (back in beta 1.9p5), and the map is correctly oriented.
