As for the LC_COLLATE section of the dz_BT locale:

On 2011-05-15, the following commit was made adding LC_COLLATE rules
(previous entry was copy "iso14651_t1")

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9732

I cannot say whether it is this 2011 LC_COLLATE modification that is
incorrect or if you are commenting on the previous copy "iso14651_t1"
entry, but that discussion can be taken off-list until there is a
patch to discuss (if any is needed).  I'll CC you on an e-mail
reaching out to Åke Persson for comment on this and the Tibetan
locales LC_COLLATE data.
