Commons's content language is English, so Vector will always output RTL HTML/CSS on Commons. The same applies to Monobook, but it so happens LTR Monobook is easier to hack with some CSS so it looks like RTL Monobook.
Certain issues, especially the tab order issue mentioned at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Slomox#The_problem_with_tabs , are lesse easy to hack around. You can probably hack around even that by reordering elements in JS, but we should really just have the ability to show an RTL interface (but LTR content!) when the user language is an RTL language.
