I think the complaint is largely in reference to the American version, with the flat pins all aligned the same way, to ensure as much wobble as it is possible to design into the system.
I've had it with Australian plugs too, particularly the two pin versions. It's mainly a problem with devices where the transformer has a built in plug and you end up with something that's rather bulky and easily dislodged when knocked. I can't say it happens very often, but having grown up used to UK plugs where it doesn't happen at all, it's an annoyance to me when it does.
