--- Comment #7 from Sam Sneddon [:gsnedders] <gsnedders at apple.com> ---
We previously fixed a similar issue in bug 170298 by adding bdo=auto to the DOM tree (which in the UA stylesheet adds unicode-bidi: isolate).

Bug 207214, which introduced this regression, was outright wrong using isolate-override (it only makes sense in combination with an explicitly set direction, which we don't have for page content). In general, using the dir attribute (and potentially the bdo/bdi elements) is recommended given it's generally more obvious about what it does.

There's probably a strong argument that if the page has <span dir=rtl>foo</span> then we want to end up with <span class="html-text-node" dir=rtl>foo</span> in the Inspector, rather than using auto there. That said, with the patch attached to this bug, we're in a better place than before bug 207214, so I'm a non-reviewer r+ on this.
