Yea! I asked the same thing today on German tex-d-l, after I encountered
the problem last night.
I thought I might have hit a wrong key kombination that calls bidi,
making the period active …
I've updated to TL '16 last week, it was the first run on that peticular
document after the update – everything waaas fine with TL '15…
Best!

I believe I've run into a bug in the interaction of fontspec and bidi in
the 2016 TeXLive distribution. However, it appears to be so simple to
trigger that I'm wondering whether it's something I'm doing.
The WME is:
------------
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}
\begin{document}
The number 12. The number 34.56. Some more text.
\end{document}
------------
The result of running xelatex on the above is the text:
------------
The number .12 The number .56.34 Some more text.

You'll notice that the two numbers appear in reverse order across the
periods--that is, if you have
<number><period>
in the input file, you get
<period><number>
in the PDF. But the digits inside <number> are in the correct order.
Other punctuation that I've tried (including the comma) do not seem to
trigger this bug, only the period. (Hexadecimal digits A-F block the
reversal, too :-).)
Loading fontspec seems to be necessary for this bug to happen. And I'm
not actually invoking either bidi or fontspec.
Can someone reproduce this?
