I ran into the same problem and noticed it in the numbering of footnotes and 
lists. The solution for now, according to Ulrike Fischer, is to add

\makeatletter\@Latintrue\makeatother
to the polyglossia language settings,
because "bidi tests for \if@Latin, so you can get around the problem by setting 
it to true."
