Not yet, but I will.  Is there a particular contact person I should 
report it to?  Or should I just send it to their mailing list?

The cygwin port of ICU doesn't do anything about this, and there's no 
problem.  I'm not sure what happens during the texlive build that's 
different, but it won't matter if the ICU people accept the change.
