But, if it wasn't for Android's don't selection issue, we do want ALM in these fonts, right?

That's a hard question:

Theoretically, you may want a glyph similar to that of RLM and LRM so that you can do "show invisible" with it. In practice, several platforms may not know about the character ALM at all, not even know it's default-ignorable, so it may be better for the glyph to be empty and zero-advance.

So, it all depends on which platform/product and which specific version of that you are targeting.

Agree empty and zero-advance is preferable.

ALM is present, but is now empty and zero width as per Google's suggestion.
