Let's simplify the reproducer, getting rid of Org mode:

(let ((str (concat "a " (propertize "[" 'invisible t) "b" (propertize "]" 'invisible t))))
  (with-temp-buffer
    (display-buffer (current-buffer))
    (insert str)
    (read-char "'a b' is visible. Press any key.")
    (setq bidi-paragraph-direction 'right-to-left)
    (read-char "'a b' is invisible. Press any key.")))

Is this the above expected?
