Thanks, Zdeněk. I found the problem and a solution for it discussed here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/263696/polyglossias-setotherlanguage-blocks-imakeindexs-indexprologue.
The solution did work for me.
Briefly, the problem is attributed to bidi's restoring the book definition
of the theindex environment for no apparent reason. The solution is to
insert the following lines between the \usepackage{imakeindex} and
\makeindex[intoc] lines:
% nullify bidi redefinition
% this should go after polyglossia and imakeidx have been loaded
\let\imakeidxtheindex\theindex
\let\imakeidxendtheindex\endtheindex
\AtBeginDocument{%
\let\theindex\imakeidxtheindex
\let\endtheindex\imakeidxendtheindex
}
