Thanks, fixed for the upcoming Emacs 28.1.

Unfortunately, that reply didn't really help, because it didn't
analyze the BPA details, which are crucial in this case. (If you set
bidi-inhibit-bpa non-nil, the problem goes away.) It just provided
the final output from Ken's program, which (as any other program) can
have bugs.

Not sure what paragraph boundaries have to do with this. Sounds like
an unrelated issue.
