Ok. I really had to see this with my own eyes. I kept looking for a native app with a right aligned field and could find none. Then I thought ok lets see how right to left languages work. I read or speak none but I switched my iPhone to Arabic and then Hebrew. I went back to IOS Mail and created a new mail and typed something in the Subject line which was now right aligned. I see space characters as soon as I enter them. So far I have not been able to verify the behavior described in the original post as native behavior. Can anyone think of a right aligned field in a native app which we can try in English?
