I went to http://www.icu-project.org/ and downloaded icu4c-52_1-src.tgz.
All the file dates therein seem to be 2013-10-04.

Debian, for one, is evidently not trying very hard in that direction,
since not only are the bugs still there but the line numbers I saw in
my backtraces agreed with Daniel's, indicating they've not changed
much of anything at all in ucol.cpp.
