yes/no: the report noted breakage in an earlier fix to remove the feature:

    ignore LEFT-TO-RIGHT-MARK (U+200E) in HTML files (Debian #408835) -TD

If someone sees it "working" in some version, that is accidental (i.e., a bug), 
since
neither ncurses nor slang actually support bidi in the sense that they know
what's on the screen between the (zero-width!) markers.
