Strange, because when I replace the above sexp in step 1 by the
following, I see the same problem at step 2:

(let ((buf (get-buffer-create "*test*")))
  (with-current-buffer buf
    (setq auto-hscroll-mode 'current-line
	  truncate-lines t
	  bidi-paragraph-direction 'left-to-right)
    (insert "Subject: Re: bug#39280: 27.0.60; wdired-get-filename ignores first argument (this is a test)\n")
    (emacs-lisp-mode)
    (goto-char (point-min)))
  (show-paren-mode)
  (switch-to-buffer buf))

I think I've only seen this on the last line in a Gnus summary buffer.
This also holds for the new test case (also in Emacs Lisp mode): after
evaluating the following sexp, I see the problem only on the last line:

(let ((buf (get-buffer-create "*test*")))
  (with-current-buffer buf
    (setq auto-hscroll-mode 'current-line
	  truncate-lines t
	  bidi-paragraph-direction 'left-to-right)
    (insert "Subject: Re: bug#39280: 27.0.60; wdired-get-filename ignores first argument (this is a test)\nSubject: Re: bug#39280: 27.0.60; wdired-get-filename ignores first argument (this is a test)\nSubject: Re: bug#39280: 27.0.60; wdired-get-filename ignores first argument (this is a test)\n")
    (emacs-lisp-mode)
    (goto-char (point-min)))
  (show-paren-mode)
  (switch-to-buffer buf))
