Allow me to contribute my two cents to the discussion.
First, it is my experience, and I also always tell my students, the following:
"if you have something you want to typeset with LaTeX, somebody else has wanted
that a long time ago, and yet someone else will have written a package for it".
I also tried to answer the original question, but since I could not find a
proper solution I did not answer.
Indeed, the problem has something to do with bidi, and perhaps also with
multicol. If you change the order of the packages, there is an error from bidi
about multicolumn environment.
I don't have the necessary skills to maintain the code and I was not the one
who came up with the modifications. I'd be more than happy to take care of the
administrative side of things, if that's possible.
