By employing the methods of renormalized field theory we show that the percolation behavior of random resistor-diode networks near the multicritical line belongs to the universality class of isotropic percolation. We construct a mesoscopic model from the general epidemic process by including a relevant isotropy-breaking perturbation. We present a two-loop calculation of the crossover exponent $\phi$. Upon blending the $\epsilon$-expansion result with the exact value $\phi =1$ for one dimension by a rational approximation, we obtain for two dimensions $\phi = 1.29\pm 0.05$. This value is in agreement with the recent simulations of a two-dimensional random diode network by Inui, Kakuno, Tretyakov, Komatsu, and Kameoka, who found an order parameter exponent $\beta$ different from those of isotropic and directed percolation. Furthermore, we reconsider the theory of the full crossover from isotropic to directed percolation by Frey, T\"{a}uber, and Schwabl and clear up some minor shortcomings.
