With no "paper" option (defaults to A4), or with "A4", "letter" or "legal", "portrait:n" behaves as expected.

This is actually documented. If you look carefully under :help letter
(or :help a4), you'll see that "ledger" is defined as 17 inch wide by 11
inch tall. Paper sheets the same size, but taller than wide (i.e. 11x17
instead) are called "tabloid".
