Footnote is good in Writer but broken in ms-word

After recent updates, RTL footnotes that are added to ms-word files appear
mirrored in ms-word (the order of the letters is reversed in each word). This
is a serious regression.

To reproduce: 
1. Open an existing RTL ms-word file.
2. Add an RTL footnote, save and close.
3. Open the file in ms-word.

Expected result:
1. The file looks the same.

Actual result:
2. The footnote text is mirrorred (the letter order is reversed).

I attach an example ms-word file showing the issue. The footnote is readable in
Writer but not in MS-word (and somehow the original line is invisible as well -
something really bad happened). This is a serious regresiion, blocking RTL
interoperavility.
