I agree. I intuitively started scrolling and the iPad frame started spinning while the content moved sidewards. Very disorientating.

Yeah, makes me physically ill. It feels like they caged me by disabling the default action of the scroll wheel.

At least override the scrolling in the right direction (i.e. horizontally)

Spot on.

It's like the Flash/ActionScript developers of the early 00's have crawled out of their graves one night and worked out how to do splash screens again.

How about css paged media?
