Right-to-left text in org mode

Hello everyone,

I need to work in an org buffer with both left-to-right and right-to-left
text. Although the character directionality and composition works fine,
when writing paragraphs with visual-line-mode on the lines get inverted,
i.e., the line

ZYX CBA

appears as

ZYX
CBA

instead of

CBA
ZYX

The section "22.20 Bidirectional Editing" of the Emacs manual suggests
forcing the directionality of the paragraph with RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK, but
this does not seem to work: even with such a character beginning the line,
(current-bidi-paragraph-direction) returns "left-to-right".

The RTL MARK seems to work just fine in tables.

When written in a clean text-mode buffer the same text appears with proper
directionality. However switching from org-mode to text-mode does not
correct directionality in said paragraphs. The issue persists even when
visiting the file with emacs -Q.

org-version 8.0.3, same issue with v. 7.9.4

Your help is much appreciated.
