Thanks, Zdeněk. I found the problem and a solution for it discussed here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/263696/polyglossias-setotherlanguage-blocks-imakeindexs-indexprologue.
 The solution did work for me.

Briefly, the problem is attributed to bidi's restoring the book definition of 
the theindex environment for no apparent reason. The solution is to insert the 
following lines between the \usepackage{imakeindex} and \makeindex[intoc] lines:


% nullify bidi redefinition

% this should go after polyglossia and imakeidx have been loaded

\let\imakeidxtheindex\theindex

\let\imakeidxendtheindex\endtheindex

\AtBeginDocument{%

\let\theindex\imakeidxtheindex

\let\endtheindex\imakeidxendtheindex

}

You have to redefine the header, it automatically inserts \chapter*{Index}. You 
have to remove the asterisk. I do not remember the details, I would have to 
search in the documentatin but it is written there.

To get the index listed in the table of contents, I include these two lines in 
the preamble of a xelatex+polyglossia+bidi program:

\usepackage[imakeidx]
\makeindex[intoc]

My problem is that while the index does get produced it doesn’t get listed in 
the TOC. The trouble can be reproduced in this small program:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex[intoc]

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{bidi}       %%%%%
\setmainlanguage{english}

\title{Facts}
\author{Aleck}
\date{}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Stars}
Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is actually a double star.
\index{Sirius}
\printindex
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The above program produces the index without listing it in the TOC. However, if 
you comment out the  \usepackage{bidi} line, the index IS produced and listed 
in TOC as expected.

Note that the above program doesn’t really need bidi as all of its output text 
is in the Latin script. But I do need the bidi feature  in the actual document 
that I need to process.

Any help will be appreciated.
