Export to Word with LayoutDirection of RTL on Tablix

When exporting to Word from SSRS 2008 R2 - setting the LayoutDirection of a Tablix to RTL causes the rendered table in word to appear in inverted order:

Selecting the table and setting Table direction (in the Table Properties dialog) to Right-to-left once already in Word corrects the issue.

Leaving LayoutDirection as LTR renders in the correct direction, but then tabbing through the table in Word is in the wrong direction.

Any chance that SSRS can be made to render LayoutDirection=RTL to Table direction=Right-to-left?
