I couldn't imagine the mouse-face is used for anything besides the
highlight.  Sounds like a kludge to me.

Anyway, if we will go the bidi-string-mark-left-to-right route, it
would be easy to fix this minor problem by putting the mouse-face on
the string before running it through bidi-string-mark-left-to-right.
