> Bug or feature?  If a feature, what is the intent here?

Answering my own question: a feature.  This is due to the fact that
0x2215 is a mirrored character, and its mirror image is 0x29F5; see
admin/unidata/BidiMirroring.txt.  Emacs behaves as intended here, and
mirrors the character when it is in right-to-left context.

Closing the bug.
