In a child prim, llSetPos works relative to the root prim (and there is no llSetLocalPos), while llSetRot works on the global axis (and llSetLocalRot needs to be used for local rotations). Is there a specific reason for this? Also, llSetPrimitiveParams seems to do the same thing. I can call llGetLocalPos and llGetLocalRot and save them to local variables, then call llSetPrimitiveParams with those two values, and the object will change rotation (at least, I think that's what was going on, I was doing other stuff in the script). Is there any way to get around this other than factor in llGetRootRot for every rotation? And how well will that work for a moving object anyway?
It seems to me that it would be nice if positions and rotations worked the same way in child prims, or if there was a PRIM_LOCAL_ROTATION option in llSetPrimitiveParams. Or, I'm completely missing something about rotations.

To change the position and rotation of a child prim in a linked set you have to use llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POSITION, pos, PRIM_ROTATION, rot / llGetRootRotation()]); From: someone It seems to me that it would be nice if positions and rotations worked the same way in child prims, or if there was a PRIM_LOCAL_ROTATION option in llSetPrimitiveParams. Or, I'm completely missing something about rotations. I wish it did too  I lost a good number of brain cells trying to figure it all out...
