Hello,

You're not missing anything, it's kind of a misfeature because the
Bidi_Mirrored property is not taken in account by ConTeXt (yet).
Happily enough, it's one of the things I'm sponsored by Google to
implement as a part of my Summer of Code project
(http://code.google.com/soc/2008/tex/appinfo.html?csaid=8BC22C657B7F0D0E)
-- of course the project is more general and there is a part on
bidirectional behaviour, but I didn't get to it yet. In this case, I
guess the mirroring property should be added to char-def.lua and handled
accordingly; contrary to XeTeX, LuaTeX doesn't know it intrinsically, so
it has to be dealt with at the ConTeXt level.
Incidentally, you may note that the guillemets are not mirrored
(although I observed some incoherent behaviour with the Geeza font on
the Mac).
Arthur
