What is your expected output? Looks quite normal and expected to me.
The baseline of the minipage is at the last line as you can see if
you add an x outside the minipage:

\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\TeXXeTstate=1
\newif\if at rl
\def\rl at everypar{\if at rl{\setbox\z@\lastbox\beginR\usebox\z@}\fi}
   \let\o at everypar=\everypar
   \newtoks\n at everypar
   \n at everypar\expandafter{\the\o at everypar}
   \o at everypar{\rl at everypar\the\n at everypar}
   \let\everypar=\n at everypar
\def\setrl{\@rltrue}
\def\setlr{\@rlfalse}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\setrl
\fbox{x\begin{minipage}[s]{0.7\textwidth}\setlr
\begin{itemize}
\item This is a test
\item This is a test
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}}

\bigskip
\fbox{x\begin{minipage}{0.7\textwidth}\setlr
\begin{itemize}
\item This is a test
\item This is a test
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}}

\bigskip
\fbox{x\begin{minipage}[b]{0.7\textwidth}\setlr
\begin{itemize}
\item This is a test
\item This is a test
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}}
\end{document}
