Strange, it seems to be no problem at all:

(bidi-visual-to-logical ".02-654-3210 :SI REBMUN YM" 'R2L)
"MY NUMBER IS: 02-654-3210."

If you use the version where the string is inverted in R2L
environments, the result is the same:

(bidi-visual-to-logical-test ".02-654-3210 :SI REBMUN YM" 'R2L)
"MY NUMBER IS: 02-654-3210."

Yes, this where more work on the visual back to logical transformation
is required, perhaps.  Either we find some extra rules to eliminate
unwanted alternatives, or we provide a nice interface to the problem
solving aids, or we decide to ignore this problem.
