HTML 4.1 had specified that block elements (like <li>) are supposed to have unicode-bidi:embed by default (as opposed to "normal" for inline elements), in case they get set to display:inline by CSS as you have done in your test case. FF implemented that a couple of years ago at least, but WebKit has not. This is the basic cause of the bug.

However, note that in HTML5, the what-used-to-be-called-block elements are supposed to have unicode-bidi:isolate. This too will result in the behavior you expect. FF has implemented this change (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676245), but WebKit has not yet, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65617. IMO, this is a duplicate of that bug.
