    This appears to be an iOS bug rather than Titanium. The UIImagePickerController allows for all four orientations, and apparently it relies somehow on the top most view controller's orientation. I created a "hello world" native app and when locked in one orientation the app crashed while trying to present the popover with the image gallery. After reading a bit about this on [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12540597/supported-orientations-has-no-common-orientation-with-the-application-and-shoul), I added these likes of code to the MediaModule.m to extend it and it started to work as expected. 
       
   // This category (i.e. class extension) is a workaround to get the
   // Image PickerController to appear in landscape mode.
   @interface UIImagePickerController(Nonrotating)
   - (BOOL)shouldAutorotate;
   @end
   
   @implementation UIImagePickerController(Nonrotating)
   
   - (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
     return NO;
   }
   
   @end

    Closing since the issue is not reproducible anymore since TISDK 3.2 or higher.
