Which version of ICU is used in LibreOffice? If they use a newer
one,
this probably can tell us about possible "surprises".
The internal ICU is 4.4.2, whether anything needed to be adapted I
don't
know.
From a quick lookup (git really sucks for this type of queries),
it looks like LO found some bugs in ICU (fixed upstream).
There was also a bug with Arab glyphs but it was not specific
to the icu version.
In sum, I agree we should just wait a bit more.
I think possible security concerns on other ext. sources (nss,
seamonkey,
probably something else) should be looked into though.
Cheers,
Pedro.
