Not for me, it doesn't.  I tried "G RET" quite a few times, it always
displays correctly.

What does window-hscroll return in each of these two cases?

Yes and no.  It depends on what you mean by "interpretation".

The value of bidi-paragraph-direction shouldn't matter when
bidi-display-reordering is nil (I've just went through the entire code
and didn't see any place where we use that value when
bidi-display-reordering is nil).  But just in case I missed something,
try bindings bidi-paragraph-direction to nil or left-to-right where I
bind bidi-display-reordering, and see if that helps.

Thanks.

P.S. I'm going to commit my patch, as it definitely improves things
and is clearly TRT to do (and I'm tired of stashing it ;-).
