It looks logical to me. I mean, if I make the text longer so that is
goes over one line I would expect the paragraph indentation on the
right and not on the left (and so in the middle of my input) and
this is what happens:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
abc

{\textdir TRT As you can see the indent is on the right at the
beginning of the paragraph and that looks quite okay and that looks
quite okay and that looks quite okay and that looks quite okay and
that looks quite okay} is just a test.

\end{document}
