“Is there anyone that has encountered a similar problem in Arabic, and may be Chinese scripts (haven't tested yet on Chinese) ? Does anyone know about known issues with the "glossary.sort" parameter ?”

Just a thought, but are your sort rules accounting for transitional characters? While characters in Latin have one form, characters in Arabic can have isolated, initial, medial and final forms.
