OK, well, I tried it for myself, and here is what I found:
As a "source file" I choose Project Gutenberg
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18291 "Hunger".
I open the epub version in Kindle Previewer which compiles it to mobi -- looks good, RTL, using the Kindle Fire emulator in Kindle Previewer.
I open the mobi version from PG in Kindle Previewer -- looks bad, LTR, using the Kindle Fire emulator.
I take the epub version and compile it explicitly using kindlegen into a mobi and I open the mobi version from PG in Kindle Previewer -- looks good, RTL, using the Kindle Fire emulator.
So I take this generated mobi which reads good RTL in the Kindle Previewer and I load it onto my actual Kindle Fire and read it there, and, surprise, it looks bad, LTR, when I actually try to read it on the Kindle Fire, not matter WHAT the Kindle Previewer claims should be happening!
