[XeTeX] \beginL and colour

[Adam Lindsay]

Hi Jonathan, all.

I ran into what I think is a bug. It's an interaction between colour and
the \beginL \endL mechanism. I reduced it to this:

\TeXXeTstate=1
\def\babble{Wa dfonbds kmkn doni don cspdsc mpw mcpi kljndf l dlkn dmnde
knds, fdwih kdfj dowk. Ifskn nods ods  cskc vif kldn conc lc -- mioefj dinj
dfnwo dnnks kw mxzlkw mdow. }
\babble \par
\beginR
\babble
\special{x:textcolor=FF0000} 
hello there world
\special{x:textcolor=000000} 
\babble
\endR \par
\babble
\end


Is this a bug, or a complete lack of understanding on my part of the model?
