I've switched over our default behavior to the requirements of the newest 1.1F2 draft you mentioned and compared against the latest Opera snapshot available for Mac, and fortunately Opera now has the same issues as WebKit :-)

The third row flows to the left now, as required by 1.1F2. To make the test pass both with my local WebKit version and Opera, we have to add:

    <g font-size="18" font-family="'Arial Unicode MS', 'LucidaSansUnicode','MS-Gothic'" text-anchor="end">
      <text x="10" y="280" unicode-bidi="normal" direction="rtl">Text "אני יכול לאכול זכוכית וזה לא מזיק לי" is in Hebrew</text>
    </g>

http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/harness/htmlObject/text-intro-09-b.html has exactly the same issue.
Can we get those tests fixed?

Cheers,
