In fact, I just tested it by adding:
FORM#editform TEXTAREA#wpTextbox1 { unicode-bidi: bidi-override; }

It wasn't a suggestion, it was a question. Please say whether it helps?
As a testing hack I've set up control buttons on one of our test wikis to change the CSS 'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' values at edit time.
Here's a copy of the Hebrew Wikipedia main page source; since the test wiki is LTR it shows LTR by default, but you can switch the edit box around with the buttons: http://test.leuksman.com/edit/New_page
(Briefly tested in Firefox 1.5.0.2 and Safari 2.0.3.)
It's pretty ugly, but being able to switch in the unidirectional mode at will might be helpful.
