Unity 5.1.1 Oculus Integration - Coroutine yield and Application.LoadLevel causes camera to reorient

Using the built in oculus integration in Unity 5.1.1, if you call Application.LoadLevel (or LoadLevelAsync) any time after a yield in a coroutine, it causes the camera to reorient it's rotation on all axis to (close to) zero- that is to say it will set the neutral rotation of the headset to be whatever the current orientation the headset is in.

For example: if the headset is lying face down in front of you, rotated 45 degrees to the left. The camera will start with a rotation of approximately (90, 0, 45). Upon the call of LoadLevel, it "zeroes" out the rotation, causing the rotation of the camera to be approximately (0,0,0), while your actual view is wherever the headset happened to be pointed at the time. This can cause... discomfort.

Example:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class changeScene: MonoBehaviour {
6.     void Start () {
7.         DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
8.         StartCoroutine(DoStuff());
9.     }
10.  
11.     private IEnumerator DoStuff()
12.     {
13.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(3.0f);
14.         Application.LoadLevelAsync("anotherscene");
15.     }
16. }

However if you do the yield after the LoadLevel call, this bug does not occur.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. private IEnumerator DoStuff()
3. {
4.     Application.LoadLevelAsync("anotherscene");
5.     yield return new WaitForSeconds(3.0f);
6. }
7.  

Furthermore, even if you try to call the LoadLevel outside of the coroutine, it still causes the bug to occur:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class changeScene: MonoBehaviour {
6.     private bool doLoad = false;
7.     private bool isLoading = false;
8.  
9.     void Start () {
10.         DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
11.         StartCoroutine(DoStuff());
12.     }
13.  
14.     private IEnumerator DoStuff() {
15.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(3.0f);
16.         doLoad = true;
17.     }
18.  
19.     void Update () {
20.         if (doLoad && !isLoading)
21.         {
22.             Application.LoadLevel("anotherscene");
23.             isLoading = true;
24.         }
25.     }
26. }
