I'll attach that modified version to the bug report.

I changed your test program to call setlocale() and now it also reports NaN

In all fairness, it has been classified as bug in the library.  The
"official" way of setting the locale in ICU is using uloc_setDefault().  To
get the locale it's uloc_getDefault().  But I see your point and am a
little surprised that this is even an issue.  I'm even more surprised that
it keeps getting pushed off to a later release.  It seems to have
originally been scheduled for 4.6, then 4.8 and now 5.0.

No, it's wrong.  I saw that when mucking around in there, too, but didn't a
fix commit (I'll do so when I get home, today).  Don't ask me how I managed
to screw that up... I don't know either.
