This bug should be fixed in revision 106587 on the trunk.  The patch
appears near the end of this message.

This completes the solution of the problems described in the original
report, so I'm closing the bug.  In the future, please file separate
bug reports about unrelated problems.

I introduced a display optimization between 24.0.90 and 24.0.91, which
made Org Mode much faster, but it also introduced this bug, now fixed.

By default, Org Mode forces left-to-right paragraph direction.  (I
guess you have bidi-paragraph-direction reset to nil somewhere.)  This
is done on purpose: Org buffers can look and behave in confusing ways
when the paragraph direction of the heading lines is sometimes LTR and
sometimes RTL.  Some of the more advanced Org features may not live
happily with this.  So I recommend sticking to the default LTR
paragraph direction in Org buffers.

Subject: small bidi problems in the org mode and in the mini buffer
Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 09:30:18 -0800 (PST)
2 problems in the org mode:
--
1 - By an RTL-Text the three points of a folded heading appear on the right
of the heading (before the star(s)!) - not as expected on the right (at end
of the heading) .
2 - When a folded LTR-heading is followed by a RTL-headline. The first one
appears on right side (not on the left side) if it is folded. But after
typing TAB (to unfold it) it jumps to the left side (the correct side).
--
These two problems I didn't have by the older version 24.0.90.. 
The third problem is an old one:
--
3 - In an "RTL-buffer": When I'm searching MY_RTL_TEXT I get in the
minibuffer:

I-search [MY_RTL_TEXT :[ XX

Not:
I-search [XX] : MY_RTL_TEXT
 (XX is the symbol of the rtl-language as example ع for arabic)
It's a bit confusing when you have to make replacements.
