Correct, so if it's a collation issue, likely maybe, then it would be good to
find a reproducer that shows via strlcoll the problem with Syriac characters.
Until then an english speaking developer is going to have a hard time figuring
this out, or the issue will go away once we start automating the collation data
updates also (which should be our plan).
