Take the previous example glibc's cy_GB.UTF-8 locale, but with a different

Therefore, this must be matchable by bracket expressions.
Incorrect.
I think you overlooked these statements in XBD 9.3.5 items 2 and 3:
It is unspecified whether a matching list expression matches a
multi-character collating element that is matched by one of the
expressions.
It is unspecified whether a non-matching list expression matches a
multi-character collating element that is not matched by any of
the expressions.
My message was indirectly in reply to your message where you claimed
that shells were required to support this. I'm very happy to see that
this is actually not true, thanks for that.
