If I remember correctly the alpha/2 trick works because the
distribution of the test statistic (t distribution or normal
distribution) is symetric. This is not the case for the
F-distribution.
I had a look at this issue a while back, and it turned out
not to be an easy problem. I'd love to be proven wrong
though.
