Data defined label rotation in Radians, not Degrees

According to 'description' popup on the data-defined rotation property for labels.. this suggests degrees...

Active: yes (ctrl|right-click toggles)
Usage:
In edit mode, layer's relevant labeling map tool is:
Defined attribute field -> enabled
Defined expression -> disabled
Expected input:
double [-180.0 - 180.0]
Valid input types:
string, int, double
Current definition (expression):
1.57

I noticed labels disappeared above a value of 10. After a bit of experimentation I discovered the units were radians (hence 1.57, to match the 90 degree canvas rotation)

Can't remember if this used to be in degrees, or is this just an inconsistency with the pop-up description?

I can apply use data defined rotation using values that are representing degrees... testing on linux/master.
