Falling back to Unity-2D has not been an option since Unity-2D was dropped from Ubuntu.
Yes, it's true that this bug will not be addressed for Saucy (13.10). Adding proper LtR support to the Unity 7 stack is a large risk that will require several weeks of full-time engineering work and it competes with many other bug for the available resources. I can only offer apologies and say "maybe next cycle."
