You’re right. The patch gets us half way to the desired behaviour (namely, correct ordering of the footnotes within the paragraph). But it seems that the ‘paragraph’ option doesn’t play well with RTL generally, resulting in the second note disappearing when using \startsetups[note:footnote] \setupdirections[bidi=global] \stopsetups.
