Autoware laserscan2costmap creates map with wrong orientation

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and Autoware 1.13 installed from source following the wiki page instructions.

When I try to create a costmap from my laserscan using the laserscan2costmap node from Autoware Runtime Manager, the orientation of the /ring_ogm output is not correct. Is it rotated with regards to the sensor frame.

Steps to reproduce the bug

The result is shown in the following screenshot. Normally the costmap should be rotated anticlockwise 90 degrees to match the sensor frame.

I realized that when viewing the TF frames in RViZ, the front_laser_base_link frame's orientation is not forward, as the laser scan is. This could be probably connected to the issue, but why?
