I've noticed that if you specify an angle for a guide it is oriented to the x axis, so a vertical guide is 90°. That makes sense except that when you specify the italic angle it is oriented to the y axis, which means a -11° italic angle translates an 79° guide. It's easy to do the math (subtracting from 90), but maybe would be more clear oriented to y.
