Try the following command with multiple values of "Facing":
/summon painting ^ ^3 ^3 {Facing:2}
For me, the paintings always face south (3), no matter the "Facing" value. Which is what happens in 1.18.2.

Also, I cannot seem to rotate a painting using the tp command on it, which is a workaround I just tried.
I see the real problem is this:
The property "Facing" is now "facing".
This is also a bug: You have broken whatever scripts are out there that expect the property name to remain unchanged.
But it's a different bug, and I will file that. Please close this one.
That other bug is MC-251815

FWIW, making sure the location is along a wall where the painting will happily stay does not seem to affect this problem, but I didn't run that down entirely to ground.
