I cannot confirm this behaviour with any official CTAN release of polyglossia. Are you 
perhaps using some (outdated) development version from github?

Please always indicate which versions of polyglossia and bidi you are using, or, better, 
include also the log file.

More generally, you can try

1) (if you have fontspec 2.0 installed), to install the latest CTAN release of 
polyglossia: v1.2.0
2) otherwise the latest (unreleased) version of the v1.1.x branch on github: 
http://github.com/fc7/polyglossia/archives/v1.1.x
3) else with any polyglossia older than v1.2.0 you can also try the package option 
'nolocalmarks' and see if it helps.
