Obviously, this code should appear after loading the graphics/x package.

Note that if you wish to modify rlbabel.def, you need something like
\AtBeginDocument{
\ifx\Gscale@start\undefined\else
  \let\oGscale@start=\Gscale@start
  \let\oGscale@end=\Gscale@end
  \def\Gscale@start{\if@rl \oGscale@end\else \oGscale@start\fi}
  \def\Gscale@end{\if@rl \oGscale@start\else \oGscale@end\fi}
\fi}

PS: The \ifx was put for efficiency. It can be dropped, since the command
\let\oGscale@start=\Gscale@start will not cause an error if
\Gscale@start is undefined.
