This isn't actually a bug, \textdir TRT will reverse all text, try
setting \setupdirection[bidi=global] to enable the "experimental"
auto-bidi support.
Thanks Khaled for your attention, but what I get is:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.21 \setupdirection
                     [bidi=global]
?
Process aborted

Is this feature so experimental that it is not yet included in the  
latest beta?

Best regards: OK

Hi Hans, Taco, Idriss and the mkiv team,
Since I have been unable to use mkiv until very recently I am not  
aware
whether the following bug has been addressed or not (Luigi Scarso  
taught me
how to install and use mkiv on Mac OS, last Sunday…).
Below is a minimal file which shows that the numerals in Right-to- 
Left text
are reversed, while they shouldn't.
XeTeX and XeConTeXt behave correctly in this respect.
If the bug is known, pardon me for the noise…
Best regards: OK
