If you type this:

  M-x set-variable RET bidi-paragraph-direction RET left-to-right RET

does the problem go away?

Org mode should do that by default, but the Org mode maintainer
(CC'ed) didn't yet respond to my repeated mails about this issue.

Bastien, please tell me whether you want me to make this change in the
Emacs repository, or wait for you to do it in the Org mode repo and
then merge to Emacs.
