Hmmm, the difference between the two is that the second one is a password field. Are placeholders for password text fields aligned properly in other applications?
Yes.
Do them RTL in RTL languages.
Android is supposed to align the password itself automatically.
In latest master we support layout flipping on Android 4.2 and above, but even without that I was seeing the correct placeholder layout on 4.2.
Will have to check on 2.3...

Can someone verify if this is still the case?
It's still the case. The screenshot is still relevant, except now the background is black.
As the Mobile Apps Team is focussing on the new, native Wikipedia app, the Commons app is no longer being maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. I am WONTFIXing all open Commons app bugs to reflect that we will not be spending time fixing them.
