I was thinking of the same behavior as iPhoto (maybe it was not iPhoto, can't remember) on MacOSX. Consider the following use cases when you need rotation

1) the image has an angle of 90° -> rotate it to 0° by pressing R
2) the image has an angle of 270° -> rotate it to 0° by pressing L
3) the image had an angle of 90° and you rotated it into the wrong direction by pressing L (be honest to yourself, that happens:) The image now is upside down in each of the cases 90 & 270° -> press L again (within the timeframe as Gilles suggested) and the image is rotated 180° and you're all set.

4) the image has an angle of 180° -> WTF, you're taking pictures upside down?! That only happens when you're completely wasted:)


Especially in case 3), the suggested shortcuts brings an advantage. Since I assume nobody wants to rotate an image by 180°, in case 3) after pressing L, the next desired action (if any) has to be most likey a rotation by 180° and not another 90°.
