Now that sounds very interesting.
You;d need to retain a 'pointer' on the ship after movement, which  
designates the direction of the Main Thrust, i.e. the direction MD  
was used. Regardless of the end orientation of the ship, that pointer  
points to 12 o'clock for Ship fire solutions. An alternative way of  
thinking about it is executing final rotation (as plotted) *after*  
the ship's fire phase. It still doesn't make FB designs optimum for  
Vector, but at least justifies some off-arcs.
