When a tab page is made with the tabs aligned at the bottom instead of
the
default top one gets a funny look and feel. The rounded parts of the
tabs
continues to be at the top and the square end is at the bottom. One
would
expect it to be inverted. (This is .NET 2.0 framework and I cannot
move to
new frameworks due to certain other problems)

Is something wrong here ?

There's nothing wrong. Tabcontrol only supports Top alignment with Visual
Styles applied.

If you want to align tabs differently but still keep Visual styles then use
one of the two free tabcontrols on my site instead.

As I stated, TabControl only supports Top alignment with Visual Styles
applied. The screenshot shows Bottom alignment which is not supported and so
cannot be classified as wrong.

If you use one of the two free TabControls from my site then the theme-parts
will be rotated as required.

Note that TabControlEx has more features than the other tabcontrol on my
site, but the other control works better.

Visual Studios Property browser does not use a TabControl.

Maybe this will be of interest to you:

I think this behavior is by design for Windows XP visual styles. It has
been reported numerous times:
