could be a side effect of all dir stuff being made consistent in the 
front and backend

in this case it's \pagedir

\pagedir TRT \pardir TRT \textdir TRT

\hbox to \hsize{l\leaders\hbox{.}\hfill r}

\hbox to \hsize{lr}

for taco/hartmut: i have a different testcase

in any case, i think that it's dangerous to assume that \pagedir is safe 
with respect to the output routines used
