I just checked, and I think I'm on to something:
1) In OpenOffice, I can see the problem only with the DejaVu Sans font (to test
quickly: in writer, write a few hebrew words, select them, and open the
"Format->Character" dialog. In this dialog, you can see how the text will look
as you select the font).
2) So I suspected there was something wrong with the font, and tried to
reproduce in KWord. No go -- in KWord, everything stays fine
3) Then I noticed a difference in the font selection dialogs -- the list of
typefaces (KWord calls them "font styles"). OpenOffice has "Extralight", "Book",
and combinations from the set { Condensed, Bold, Oblique }, whereas KWord has
{ Light, Regular, Bold } x { Italic, (not italic) }. These lists change from
font to font, in both programs; I don't know how consistent the lists are in all
the fonts.
4) Actually, the problem is only in the ExtraLight typeface; it is the first in
the list and selected by default when DejaVu Sans is selected. Again, I can't
say if other fonts have problematic typefaces which aren't the font's default
typeface.
For non-Hebrew users who want to test, and need a couple of Hebrew words to
paste into a doc, here: כמה מלים בעברית.
