Yes, line wrapping when text direction is opposite to the paragraph
direction is where Emacs deviates from the UBA.  I've added this
caveat to the Emacs manuals a few days ago.

The "full conformance" part refers to the fact that all the explicit
directional controls are supported, including the isolates.
