I have solved the problem using the following workaround: I have added
the comment "%LTR" immediately after the second dollar sign. Now that
the line contains letters from the English alphabet, Emacs' bidi
algorithm recognizes it as English text, and therefore justifies it to
the left of the buffer. However, since this is a TeX comment, it is
ignored by the TeX compiler, and therefore affects the processing, and
the resulting typeset PDF file, in no way.
