Isn't this arguably a Fedora regression? What did they change in F23 to make

Maybe, but it's pretty unfriendly for us to complain about a library
issue, if it is one, by failing an Assert(). People with
non-assert-enabled builds will just get wrong answers. Yuck.
Thinking about how this could happen, I believe that one possibility
is that there are two strings A and B and a locale L such that
strcoll_l(A, B, L) and memcmp(strxfrm(A, L), strxfrm(B, L)) disagree
(that is, the results are of different sign, or one is zero and the
other is not).
I wonder if Glibc bug 18589 is relevant. Bug 18934 says "Note that
these unittests pass with glibc-2.21 but fail with 2.22 and current
git due to bug 18589 which points to a broken change in the collate
algorithm that needs to be reverted first." Hungarian is mentioned.
Doesn't Fedora 23 include glibc-2.22? Is it possible that that bug
affects strcoll but not strxfrm?

Yes, it's 2.22:
[vagrant@localhost ~ ]$ rpm -q -a | grep glibc
glibc-2.22-3.fc23.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.22-3.fc23.x86_64
glibc-common-2.22-3.fc23.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.22-3.fc23.x86_64
