Strange. Both in classic and the pro demo, I position the camera at the flying object's position , and then set the camera to the object's orientation as you do and it stays correct through inverted flight and loops.
My object is using free flight angles for the flying object ... perhaps you are using some mathematical combination of euler angles ?? and this might put things astray.

I just remembered, there was one other thing needed on the pro version 5 that I was using.
After the - 'set camera to object orientation ', because of a rotation bug you had to add after that, the line ->
'rotate camera camera angle x(),camera angle y(),camera angle z()'
this updated the camera rotation properly.

well ... it might be part of your problem
cheers.
