Very right indeed. 
So, if no one objects, I will apply the patch as proposed. FOP will no longer
crash, but simply show a '#' for such unassigned codepoints in the output.
Treating them as regular alphabetic characters seems to be safe enough for the
time being.
Customization of and/or more refined configuration possibilities for the
Unicode line-breaking algorithm is something that is still on the wish-list for
the longer term.
