Please note that you silently mix two things: paragraph direction, and
character direction - into a single sentence, making the logic flaw not
obvious.

"the paragraph-mark to appear at the place where the next character would
appear" expectation must only apply to the *caret* - paragraph mark has nothing
to do with this expectation. Paragraph mark indicates *the direction at which
the next paragraph would appear* if you decide to create one. And the
horizontal position (and correct upright glyph orientation, which is absent
now!) of the mark indicates that: your next paragraph will appear below this
paragraph, as in other "normal" horizontal paragraphs, no matter what
*character rotation* it uses.

Now compare that to e.g. paragraphs in table cells, where you can set vertical
orientation by modifying table cell's text orientation on Text Flow properties
tab. That changes the position and the rotation of the paragraph mark,
correctly.

The real (and only) bug (as discussed in this report) is the glyph rotation.
