I think this crash may be a font-related issue, as I can't reproduce
it while using Microsoft Core fonts (Times New Roman, Courier New,
etc).
I also did some testing with a virtual Windows XP (through QEMU), and
the crash is reproducible there. I just had to choose the font
"Courier" from the "Set Default Font" dialogue, then select the
content of the testcase.

Yes, just by moving the pointer towards the Arabic text form any point
below the testcase contents.

The testcase should work. I had only two extra blank lines below it
just to make it easier to move the cursor upwards.

I know. But a Hebrew testcase is sometimes useful when tracking bugs
with Arabic, especially to decide whether a bug is in Bidi or in some
Arabic-specific code (like shaping, LAM-ALEF handling, etc). In any
case, it wasn't reproducible using Hebrew because it was rendered with
"Courier New".
