I suspect this is nothing to worry about ... not a bug, but rather a =
failing of that particular testcase (checking the format of a negative =
currenty for Brazilian Portugese).
The testcase supports two variants, because different version of the ICU =
library on different systems produce different results.
It seems likelly that the version of ICU on your system is using a third =
variant of format for negative currency values, one the testcase does =
not allow for.
I have changed the testcase in git to use a fixed negative currency =
format, rather than the one ICU supplies for the pt_BR locale, in order =
to avoid that variability.=
