It works OK here:

\sethebrew test3 \ConTeXt\ הָלַך test4

gives => test4 הָלַך test3 ConTeXt

This is the way the macro is meant to be!

I guess the tXeTnoC is indeed a result of improper copy-pasting.

Unicode works with invisible formatting characters used to control 
bidirectional typesetting.
[LTR: (U+202D); RTL: (U+203D); (U+202C) cancels the effect of the other two]

Copy-pasting (@-mailing?) can be a problem since sometimes these 
characters fall away.
The RTL unicode charater is missing from the text underneath so I guess 
that's the problem.

Adriaan.
