Open Office Writer cannot do vertical text and numbers

In OOo 3.1.1 on Kubuntu 9.10 I cannot show numbers vertically in
Writer. Steps to reproduce:
1* Open a new document (LTR or RTL, both are affected)
2* Create 10x1 table (10 columns, 1 row)
3* In one of the cells paste this info (without quotes):
"""
דותן כהן
054-7881700
""""
4* Select the entire table
5* Format -> Character -> Position -> Rotation -> 90 degress

By playing with the LTR/RTL settings (Format -> Paragraph -> Alignment
-> Properties -> Text direction) I can get the text _or_ the numbers
to be vertical, but not both.

Can someone confirm this before I file a bug? Thanks!
