No, I have dumped .xdv file and confirmed that the
culprit is actually more in the side of the compiler
rather than in that of the driver.

Do you use e-TeX directional for typesetting Arabic
with pdftex??? At least the arabtex package doesn't
use any e-TeX extensions.

.dvi (.xdv) do not contain any information for font
directionality, and \special{color push rgb 1 0 0}
are stored there only with the positional information.
With Omega, it is .ofm which supplies the necessary
directionality information.
