Here's a simple test file with results (without idea what's going on):

\ifx\pdfcompresslevel\undefined\else\pdfcompresslevel=0 \fi
\nopagenumbers
\TeXXeTstate=1

\pdfoutput=1 % or 0, depending on PDF/DVI test

% pdfetex 1.11b, PDF mode: centered text "MyryVh ryV",
%   shifted \parindent, no overfull box mark (!)
% pdfetex 1.11b, DVI mode: centered text "MyryVh ryV",
%   shifted \parindent, overfull box mark
% pdfetex 1.20a, PDF mode: "MyryVh" and overfull box on page
% pdfetex 1.20a, DVI mode: only overfull box mark on page
% (etex 1.20a same as pdfetex 1.20a in DVI mode)

\beginR\centerline{Vyr hVyryM}\endR

\vfill\eject
\parindent=0pt

% pdfetex 1.11b, PDF mode: centered text "MyryVh ryV"
% pdfetex 1.11b, DVI mode: centered text "MyryVh ryV"
% pdfetex 1.20a, PDF mode: page completely empty
% pdfetex 1.20a, DVI mode: page completely empty
% (etex 1.20a same as pdfetex 1.20a in DVI mode)

\beginR\centerline{Vyr hVyryM}\endR

\bye

funny, with 1.20a from \beginR\centerline{aac defghi}\endR one gets only
"ihgfed", but from \beginR\centerline{abc defghi}\endR the page is
empty. So it even depends on the chars.

Regards, Hartmut
