Hi David
Sure \textdir works in vertical mode in luatex but luatex's behavior is buggy. For instance, consider the following minimal example
{\textdir TRT This} is just a test.
\bye
As you can see there is no indent at the beginning of the paragraph and that indent is shifted as a space between `This' and `is' which is completely wrong. So to fix it, you have to issue a \leavevmode at the start of the paragraph but by doing that, you are already entering horizontal mode.
