I can't really offer beta builds to the general public since I only have a finite amount of slots and there are way more users who paid for the app than there are slots.
However, I have just heard back from Apple. I'll post the thread so y'all can see what the conversation has been like. This includes the original rejection email before I rolled the 0.6 changes into it:
App Review Team,
This is not specific enough. The only screenshot attached was related
to the original rejection. I have removed that feature and will be
replacing it in a future version. What exactly is it you want me to
do? The current app store information applies to version 0.5. I will
update it for 0.5.1 as soon as you approve it (noting that the feature
has been removed).
Additionally, I don't think the history tab even displays a "cannot
connect to server message" (unless you mean the queue tab?). So, you
must be mistaken...

>> The iPad Human Interface Guidelines state that an iPad application should be able to run in all orientations. The Item Details page that is displayed when the user selects an item from the History tab is currently only supporting one variant of the portrait orientation. A screenshot is attached for your reference. It would be appropriate to consistently support all orientations throughout your application.
>>
>> Please note that supporting all four orientations, each with unique launch images, provides the best user experience and is recommended.
