Andrew, Thank you for this detailed investigation. It is truly informative.
As I am considered an ineligible contributor by ISO, um, standards, I hereby withdraw all of my contributions to Unicode, and reflexively to ISO 10646. A list of the contributions that I withdraw is given at: http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/~pandey/ Whoever has the task of coordinating with ISO, is that you Michel?, please withdraw all of my contributions. All the best, Anshuman
