No, sorry.  I really need to reproduce this on my machine and run
Emacs under a debugger to see what happens and why.

Please try to come up with a recipe starting from "emacs -Q".  It is
OK to include customizations and loading of optional packages, but
please try to find the minimal set of those, as too many of them
complicate debugging.

If Emacs is configured without --enable-checking (which is what
happens in released versions), all the eassert lines compile to
nothing.

Yes.  But without details, I cannot know what caused it or how to fix
it.

The display engine always works in bidirectional mode, this has been
so since Emacs 24.1.
