[XeTeX] Another Bug of XeTeX

if you try the following minimal plain TeX document:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
This is a test.
\leftline{Vafa Khalighi}
\end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You get the result that is one of my attachments. (acceptable).

But if you try the following example
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\TeXXeTstate=1
\font\body="XB Zar:script=arab" at 12pt\body
\beginR
این یک آزمایش است.
\rightline{\body وفا خلیقی}
\end
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You get a strange behaviour from XeTeX which is shown in the other
attachment.

It seems that this is a bug of XeTeX or more precisely a bug of etex.

Are there any solutions in the macro level so that \rightline in both LTR
and RTL remains in the right hand side?
