Checked the regular daily build PPA and found that it broke on the same thing for GCC, since release builds ignore the assert statements. Updated title to reflect this.
I haven't seen the ICU issues, though I haven't looked closely at the Travis setup. Last time I checked Travis based their build environments on Ubuntu 12.04 though, so it might simply be the case that the ICU version is too old. The daily builds performed with 14.04 and later releases does not seem to have any problems at least.
Ah, thanks for linking.
