What ICU is this? I can't tell which version from here. Your analysis sounds reasonable, may have to ignore the tests (there's a logKnownIssue mechanism) - put the following before the failing test case:
if (logKnownIssue("https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/2016021", "tzdata issue")) { return; }
