Hmm... There definitely something wrong in GNUstep, then. The question is
what!? Looking at the code, I'm not entirely sure what could be happening,
and why your system is giving different results than mine. You are using
ICU version 58.2, so I'm wondering if some behavior changed between what I
have (version 55.1) and the later ICU releases.
I modified the previous test to verify that your version of ICU does the
same thing as previous releases. Can you please recheck? Maybe later
versions are be choosing the pattern over the styles. This is the only
thing I can think of, right now.
Thanks
