The problem happens in both rendering and editing. Open the above test case, 1. the 1st div has RLE characters but no PDF, and the RLE is ignored by rendering, while FireFox displayed "b!" as RTL. 2. try to type the same in 2nd div as what is in 1st div (after the fix of 25321, which will preserve RLE in editing), the whole text showed as LTR, while Firefox displayed "b!" as RTL. Changing text direction to RTL when RLE is encountered is the behavior of Mac TextEdit as well.

Note that this happens when the line ends with a run of neutral characters, but not if you replace the ! with a RTL character.
