It works perfectly. Set a panorama photo as your lock screen or wall paper... then move your phone left to right or right to left and the background scrolls with your phone movement.

Does it need to be in a special Panoramas folder or anything like that?

I don’t think so. My photos app identified it as a panorama... and when I set the wallpaper, I just picked that image. Scroll down in the list to find panorama on the photo albums list in the wallpaper setting.

After a quick reset it is now working for me. Oddly enough the smooth 180 degree rotation only works on images labelled "Panorama" I tried to create my own wallpaper with similar dimensions and it would not work.

What did you "reset"? As in reboot?

I can't get it to work even with panoramic photos in the Panoramas folder take with my iPhone 5...

I quit all apps then restarted the device. After that when I set a panorama lock screen it worked

You have to select the panorama from the settings > Brightness and Wallpapers menu. Then they work.
