I see this too in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5)

Moving over to BiDi.

Attachment: Minimized testcase

There are two separate problems here. One is the reordering across the <br/>s,
which can be worked around by adding right-to-left marks, as in the second
example in the attached testcase, but the third example shows that there is
still a problem with the links when they appear on a single line.

So this is just a duplicate of these two bugs. Removing dependencies and
(arbitrarily) marking as a duplicate of 229367.
