no, the problem is old.

Description

Footnote directions are not correctly setup up if the first footnote is created with \footnoteAtext.

Minimal Working Example

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{reledmac}
\begin{document}
\makeatletter
%\footnoteA{xxx}
xxxx\footnoteAmark\footnoteAtext{blub}
\end{document}

errors with

! Undefined control sequence.
\footfmtA ...tex \textdir \footnote@luatextextdir 
                                                  \pardir \footnote@luatexpa...
l.7 xxxx\footnoteAmark\footnoteAtext{blub}

Workaround

Predefine the commands (or use \footnoteA{something} first).
