Yes, the words are placed diagonally, but their bottom is unquestionable.
We can think about few scribes and their mistakes, but the inverted t/o diagram on the same folio (the other page, f86v3) and on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. confirm that its orientation isn't coincidental.
I didn't see inscriptions oriented randomly. If there are cases of such ones, I'd be glad to take a look at them.
I think direction of the text is important and not accidental. For example, I probably will agree with that the spiral inscription among star rather shows the rolling up, not rolling out, as words flow from the outer circle to the center of the spiral. If it is opening, I think, it would be formed of words flowing from the center to the edge of the spiral. I'm not sure what this mean, but also reminds me a funnel.
