This looks like a dupe of bug 382542, but I can only reproduce the bug on trunk. Was this really seen on Firefox 2.0.0.8?
For sure this is reproducible in 2.0.0.7 and 2.0.0.8. I haven't tested earlier versions, but i think this bug is inside, too.
Mass-assigning the new rtl keyword to RTL-related (see bug 349193).

I recall a bug like this getting fixed several years ago. Is this still an issue?
