This bug had already been discovered by our QA department and logged in our
database. I've added a pointer to your post to that bug report. In the mean
time, the way to work around this is to provide an explicit PlotRange. E.g.,
Manipulate[
Graphics[
GeometricTransformation[
{
EdgeForm[Black],
FaceForm[],
Disk[{0, 0}, 1, {\[Pi], 2 \[Pi]}],
Disk[{0, 0}, 1, {0, \[Pi]}]
}, RotationTransform[x]
], PlotRange->{{-1.1,1.1},{-1.1,1.1}}
], {x, -180, 180}
]
Also note that x is in radians, not degrees, which is why your example rotates
so very quickly.
Sincerely,
