After spending way too much time trying to resolve the strapping issue I called technical support. Nathan assisted me and confirmed what Eric indicated, that there is no mechanism to control the direction of the framing and the anomaly is most likely due to some miss connected or skewed wall or surface. The most efficient way to resolve is to manually make the correction as Eric suggested above.
After working to resolve these problems, I think it would be beneficial to add control of the strapping to support it orientation. This could be done in the ceiling specification or with a strapping direction pointer similar to the joist direction tool. I will add this to the suggestion thread.
