I tried to debug thus further, compiling the following document with
both plain and context formats, in plain all boxes are TRT (the part of
the log after "Completed box being shipped out [1]"), while in context
all boxes are TLT except that hbox that contains the text. Though I
don't know how much relevant is this or what it does actually mean.
\pagedir TRT
\bodydir TRT
\pardir TRT
\textdir TRT
\tracingall
Hello \hbox{World}

Khaled
