This seems expected. When device is in landscape mode there is no way to populate the stats flyout.

Brave Stats flyout forcing portrait might be expected, what's unexpected for me is that turning the device sideways after closing the flyout shouldn't have put it to landscape since I have the rotation lock.

I have to close the app and reopen it again just so my screen stays locked on portrait.

I can confirm this issue. Really annoying.

Ok, I see one potential annoying factor on a tablet as well but not because of portrait. If Auto-rotate is enabled and the device is rotated 180deg in portrait mode, clicking on stats rotates it back to the original orientation
