Indeed I am; Aquamacs uses a bar cursor by default (set in aquamacs.el).
This cursor is helpful and intuitive since it accurately reflects the
position of point---except in RTL mode, where things are confusing.
Here's another example: the plain ol' delete-backward-char command
currently deletes a character not touching the cursor!

I agree that using a block cursor mitigates the problem, but I still
think this issue should be addressed.
