That's just the point.  <right>, as it stands, is only aware of the
direction of the paragraph, not of the text, so it moves forward in
logical order in an L2R paragraph even when that means moving leftward on
the screen.  Eli, I believe, is proposing changing things so that
<right>/etc. move visually in all cases (while C-f/etc. would still move
logically in all cases).
