David is right: the bidi branch is just a first attempt to make the
display engine support bidirectional languages. It needs a lot of
debugging to become usable. In particular, as soon as you turn on the
bidi support flag, Emacs instantly crashes.

I rather hope that Emacs 23 will come out with bidi support (since
Unicode requires that), but that hope has no basis whatsoever.

I'm not aware of any such issues, but then the implications of bidi
redisplay were never discussed in detail.
