In my understanding PostgreSQL's manual MUST include the ICU license
term (this is not a problem).  What I am not so sure is, any software
uses PostgreSQL also MUST include the ICU license or not. If yes, I
think this is surely a problem.

Only if we're thinking of distributing it. If the user gets ICU from
their distribution then there is no need to list the licence (just like
we don't need to mention the licence of glibc).  We only need link
against it, not distribute it.

I understand how it'd works with extension, but not with core.

The same it works with libxml, openssl, libreadline and all the other libraries you can build with.
