You have to redefine the header, it automatically inserts \chapter*{Index}.
You have to remove the asterisk. I do not remember the details, I would
have to search in the documentatin but it is written there.

Sure, bidi has nothing to do with it. And I woult prefer to modify the
prolog generated by the index. If you randomly redefine a few macros inside
\AtBeginDocument, it might fail unpredictably if a package is used with its
own modifications.
Stackexchange may contain useful solutions but the origi
Actually, bidi does clobber imakeidx. In all of the document classes, bidi
redefines the \theindex environment. Some of the imakeidx functionality
also comes from redefining \theindex. I had problems with this in the past.
The only issue that would be presented with the op's patch is that there

To clarify two points: to op used the intoc option, which should make the
index appear in the toc (very aptly named, egreg). Thus, this is an example
of bidi making a problem. It's just a lack of support really. The
workaround he used was to save away the imakeidx version of theindex and
