TeX fonts are tested by default also for documents setting non-TeX fonts.
This means that we need to invert/ignore Unicode-requiring documents in
addition to the "non-TeX-fonts" document setting.

Thank you for spotting the typo: it should be in invertedTests under

  Sublabel: texissues
  #
  # Export fails due to LaTeX limitations,
  # e.g. non-ASCII in verbatim or listings, incompatible packages, ...
  # "Wontfix" if documents demonstrate correct use in the default output format.

Generally, it should suffice to scan the existing patterns in *Tests files
to see where a new pattern fits best.

However, reading the "Arabi" package documentation
http://mirrors.ctan.org/language/arabic/arabi/arabi/texmf/doc/latex/arabi/user_guide.pdf
I learned that arabi also supports pdflatex and 8-bit fonts, so I recommend
b) (invert under "texissues" or, together with an enhancement request at
trac, under lyxbugs).

Thanks,
