It is/must be a behavior of the popOver segue, in normal situations or regularly we need that the popOver keeps in view, if the segue show something important is annoying that we lost that information just because we rotate the device, I guess that that is the reason of that native behavior. So if we want for it to dismiss automaticly we have to make that behaivor by our own, this works:

in the method - (void)viewDidLoadin the detailViewController.m add this:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
 addObserver:self selector:@selector(orientationChanged:)
 name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification
 object:[UIDevice currentDevice]];

then create this method:

- (void) orientationChanged:(NSNotification *)note{
UIDevice * device = note.object;
//CGRect rect = [[self view] frame];
switch(device.orientation)
{
    default:
        [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    break;    }}

You said that in a single view happens what you want, but I've never seen that behavior when I used popOvers.
