Updated proposal:

   # In this process, non-textual entities such as images are treated as
   # neutral characters, unless their 'unicode-bidi' property has a value
   # other than 'normal', in which case they are treated as strong
   # characters in the 'direction' specified for the element.

Change
   # In this process, non-textual entities such as images are treated as
to
   | In this process, replaced elements with 'display: inline' (and
   | replaced elements with 'display: run-in', when they generate
   | inline-level boxes) are treated as

Then append:

   | All other atomic inline-level boxes are treated as neutral characters
   | always.
