Falling back to Unity-2D has not been an option since Unity-2D was
dropped from Ubuntu.

Yes, it's true that this bug will not be addressed for Saucy (13.10).
Adding proper LtR support to the Unity 7 stack is a large risk that will
require several weeks of full-time engineering work and it competes with
many other bug for the available resources.  I can only offer apologies
and say "maybe next cycle."

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I noticed that for languages that are written from right to left, the
  unity interfaces stays the same. This is a little inconsistent with
  other GNOME apps: the left sidebar with the launchers should be on the
  right, and the top panel's items should be ordered from right to left.
  The fact that now the menubar is rendered by unity makes it even more
  bothering. The menus are rendered in reversed direction, and open to
  the right instead of to the left.

  Freeze Exception Notes:
  The exception is only for Unity 2D for which the RTL support is ready. The code impact is fairly small and the user interface for non RTL languages is left entirely untouched.
