It displays in Firefox and IE as I would expect.
Since you have each list item displaying as an inline element rather than a
block element, it should behave just like any other inline element, and thus
whitespace is important.
Remember that the text you are using in your excample is inherently LTR
rather than RTL, while spaces are neutral and inherit directionality.
although, in the first example you have five list items, without space, and
with only latin text in the list items and display set to inline for these
elements, you in effect have a single LTR string separated into five list
items embedded in an RTL environment.
the third example (line) you add spaces which are RTL so you ahve five LTR
strings in an RTL element and would be ordered as displayed.
If you wish to properly test RTL behaviour you should use an appropriate
writing script such as Arabic, Syriac, Hebrew, etc.

I just found the issue and put something together:

Just an observation: whitespace doesn't matter in Opera 9 (from prev1
onwards).
So, whitespace may be important to browsers when dealing with such
cases, but it shouldn't be.
I agree, and that's why it took me so long to find the issue.
FWIW, I'm impressed with Opera on this one...
