So smontagu and I discussed this and we suggest adding to the definition of
'text-align: start/end' that
  | In the case of an empty bidi paragraph, the direction used is that of the
  | previous bidi paragraph, or, if this is the first bidi paragraph in the
  | containing block, then the 'direction' property is used.

That should handle the caret.
