There's a lot of discussion of what's behind this issue in the Mozilla feature request at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298619 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298619, and more at the corresponding webkit (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19688 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19688) and chromium (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=56845 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=56845) bug trackers. The concern is essentially that there may be many images on the web that have EXIF tags that don't match how those images are being used, specifically because the sites were tested in browsers that ignore the tags. So changing browser behavior now could suddenly break lots of sites that previously looked fine. It sounds like nobody has come up with a good solution yet.
