After reading your reply I went back and scratched my head on why my code 
doesn’t work, because based on your information my code logic is correct. Turns 
out it’s merely because I didn’t handle enough cases for it->what (I only 
handled when it->what == IT_CHARACTER). I updated my code to handle other cases 
and it now works in bidi!

I have to do another change for kinsoku.el to work right in bidi. Kinsoku.el 
defined NOT_AT_BOL and NOT_AT_EOL categories. These categories are flipped in 
bidi paragraphs: what was EOL becomes BOL and vice versa. So I flipped them in 
my predicate function depending on it->bidi_p.

Now the word wrap and kinsoki works in both normal and bidi paragraph.

P.S., I think I fixed all the indentation with tabs.
