Inconsistent RBNF Data?

Hey Steven et al.,
This turned out to be my fault. I had two different versions of ICU on my
classpath, one recent and one quite old. I *thought* the newer one was
loaded but the older one took precedence because it occurred earlier in the
classpath and caused my script to generate invalid test cases.
As you suggested I wrote a small bit of Java code to try and reproduce the
problem, which to my surprise produced the correct result.
Apologies for dragging everyone into this! Thank you all for your help :)
