These all are because character compositions don't yet work with bidi
reordering.  When they will, the RLM character will be composed with
the open parenthesis that follows it, and will become invisible.  And
the extra close parenthesis will disappear.  Alignment being incorrect
is a side effect of these two.

This is a known problem.  Handa-san is helping me to resolve it.
