Can't seem to get to the link you posted but I think I remember this.  Different case I believe.  In some cases a KMZ produced by some software would omit the tag <rotation>0.0</rotation> when the rotation was 0 and this messed up the reading of the KMZ by MapRunF for display.  Can't remember if it was fixed or not but the workaround was to just add 0 tags (a bit of a pain if using a tiles KMZ but not too difficult with a search and replace).  Many maps and corresponding KMZ files have a rotation (magnetic north the most likely reason) and these are fine.  The problem I am seeing is only with the O-Util for producing the KMZ from a JPG and JGW file.  The util appears to ignore any rotation in the World File (remember, these are not the same rotation numbers - one is the XML tag in the KML doc within the KMZ, the other is the geo-referencing rotations (x,y axis) in a World File).  Try producing the KMZ from an OOM map (through the export of the image and JGW) that does not have any rotation factor assigned in the map properties/geo referencing so that lines 2,3 should be 0 in the world file. This should work.

Heading out to snowshoe run and fat bike with a map in my hand now!  let me know how it turns out.
