I took a quick look at some of the functions you used and in the ICU 4.4.1 documentation is states: "Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 4.4 technology preview". Maybe there should be some fall back code?
Since we've started requiring libicu recently (NSLocale and NSRegularExpression) it might be a good idea to pick a particular version to be compatible to. If a newer version is required for a particular feature a check should be made at compile time. If I'm not mistaken, NSLocale requires 3.8 or above (most functions are stable since 2.0, but a few require higher versions). I would say requiring 4.0 to build libicu stuff would be a good idea and we can check for 4.4 or 4.6 for additional features.
