can you try

\unprotect

\unexpanded\def\leftorrightvbox{\ifconditional\displaylefttoright\expandafter\lefttorightvbox\else\expandafter\righttoleftvbox\fi}

\def\strc_notes_flush_global
   {\begingroup
    \useinterlinespaceparameter\noteparameter
    \doifelse{\noteparameter\c!paragraph}\v!yes
      {\leftorrightvbox
         {\starthboxestohbox
 
\iftrialtypesetting\unvcopy\else\unvbox\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber
          \stophboxestohbox}}
 
{\iftrialtypesetting\unvcopied\else\unvboxed\fi\currentnoteinsertionnumber}%
    \endgroup}

\protect
