I'm not sure how to get around this, especially since I don't know much about that BOM.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report in bidi.nvim with text containing the U+FEFF byte-order mark and inspect where it passes through FriBidi. Determine whether the visible BOM is expected or should be removed, then verify the behavior with a focused regression check; the issue names no source file or test to begin from.
