Rotating with Shift held doesn't rotate precisely at 180 degrees

Holding down shift while rotating an object "180deg" doesn't actually rotate it 180deg. It's maybe 179deg, which is a major problem.

OK, than it’s something super weird.
Just in case — the angles set in Preferences >Smart Guides are sane as well, correct? Even though these don’t and shouldn’t influence this...Let’s try to figure this out then.
Does it happen with any artwork, or only with selections that have live shapes in them?
Can you share a test file with this small sign, rotated and unrotated? -

Yes, it is set to 0º, see attached screenshot

Ian, please check Preferences > General, the Constrain Angle value — is it 0°?
