This entire discussion is premature. The model for Egyptian is in flux 
right now. What constitutes a "quadrat", which is significantly relevant 
to any determination of how other segmentation properties should work 
for Egyptian hieroglyphics, will depend on the details of the model and 
how quadrat formation interacts with the exact set of format controls 
eventually agreed upon. See:

http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17112r-quadrat-encoding.pdf

(And please note that that has a reference list of 13 *other* documents. 
This is not simple stuff.)

When we get closure on the Egyptian model, *then* will be the time to 
make suggestions for how Egyptian values for GCB, WB, and LB might we 
adjusted for possible better default behavior.
