Did you mirror the < and > characters?

Not that I'm against Ehud's idea, but I don't see how could this
example be the trigger.  We _know_ that the original logical-order
string didn't contain any formatting codes, right?  So I think the
conversion to logical should not need any formatting codes, either.

Are you sure this isn't some simple bug?
