A work around seems to be to provide an empty line between the LTR and
the RTL paragraph. I.e. instead of
* this is ltr
* THIS IS RTL
do:
* this is ltr
* THIS IS RTL
But you are correct that the wrapping of LTR paragraphs with RTL text
is buggy. This bug seems to have nothing to do with org mode, but
happens e.g. in text mode and fundamental mode as well. You should
raise this issue on the emacs-list or file a bug with emacs.
