Then I'm sorry to say that I cannot reproduce this.  I have no access
to a Mac, but I tried this on GNU/Linux and on MS-Windows, both in a
GUI and a tty sessions, and I don't see this problem.  (On Windows, I
inserted the ^? character by evaluating `(insert "\C-?")', because
there's no DEL key on Windows, but I don't think this difference
matters.)

Just to be sure that this is an up-to-date version of the development
trunk: can you tell what is the latest (topmost) entry in
src/ChangeLog?  If it is after May 19, we will need help from the
Aquamacs developers, because I will need to ask them to run Emacs
under GDB and send me some data that is only accessible from the
debugger.

There's no inconsistency: bidi-paragraph-direction is a user variable,
intended to be customized, and it will stay like that.

Hmm... '--without-x'?  Does it mean you are using a non-GUI session?
Does Aquamacs support the -nw switch?  If so, could you please see if
the problem persists in the -nw session?
