I'm sorry. I accidentally commented out \setcharactermirroring[1]
while switching between XeTeX and LuaTeX. So this time just for fun:
XeTeX doesn't know textdir command, so I commented out both textdir
and setcharactermirroring. And then you get XtEConT with XeTeX :) :)

PS: keep in mind that the problem lies in user-end not in engine, but
I still find the result funny :)
I used the wrong set of direction-switching commands, though it's
still interesting that XeTeX and LuaTeX both accept input, but
generate completely different results. (\pardir without \textdir has
no influence in mkiv while it changes word stacking direction in
XeTeX.)
