I'm sure you're seeing something, but I suspect it is a browser thing. The align attribute is not even a valid attribute for text input tags! In HTML 3.2 it's for type="image". In 4.0+ it's deprecated.
Browser to spec inconsistencies wouldn't be a first and if it works with only "right" that's an even bigger clue. It should be completely ignored outside of image types.
