Perhaps not, but testing it and saying "it doesn't work" gives you
much stronger claim on his attention to your patch.

I've been working with Eli for about two decades. He has never
trusted logic unaccompanied by data. I happen to like that attitude,
but even if it doesn't work for you, he's unlikely to change.

But David's testing used HELLO, and HELLO triggers bidi, and bidi has
its own problems IIUC; certainly Eli produced a patch for it. There's
some evidence that they are different problems. So you need to test
too.

Because I don't understand the relevant redisplay invariants, and
don't have time to study them.
