Not for Ubuntu. I hope someone who uses that could tell you more.

That's true, but unrelated to the directionality issue, see below.

I don't get the scenario, please describe what you do starting from
"emacs -Q".

In a buffer other than *scratch*, whenever the first character you
type is a Hebrew character, the cursor will automatically jump top the
right margin of the window. (*scratch* and every other buffer
suitable for typing programs has its bidi-paragraph-direction set to
left-to-right by default.)

Input method has nothing to do with paragraph direction, only with how
characters are inserted.
