Yep.  Traditional xterm is basically broken.  I recommend not using it.
I have long since swiched to xfce4-terminal.

You could switch to urxvt, which is very similar to xterm but properly
supports the LTR Unicode characters.  Or, you can set your locale
to a non-UTF-8 locale because we only send the LRM if we're in a UTF-8
locale.
