The patch that fixes this upstream is the one that introduces the
Unicode 6.0 support, it is a very large patch produced by a Perl-script
from an external dataset:

$ git diff --stat 7d0411..be4964

 10 files changed, 69598 insertions(+), 63791 deletions(-)

...However, these are all textual dataset changes and the only "code"
alterations are updates of the copyright strings and Unicode version
numbers:

  git diff -U0 7d0411..be4964 gucharmap/gucharmap-*
  -      || (wc >= 0x2a700 && wc <= 0x2b734))
  +      || (wc >= 0x2a700 && wc <= 0x2b734)
  +      || (wc >= 0x2b740 && wc <= 0x2b81d))
  -  GUCHARMAP_UNICODE_VERSION_LATEST = GUCHARMAP_UNICODE_VERSION_5_2 /* private, will move forward with each revision */
  +  GUCHARMAP_UNICODE_VERSION_6_0,
  +  GUCHARMAP_UNICODE_VERSION_LATEST = GUCHARMAP_UNICODE_VERSION_6_0 /* private, will move forward with each revision */
  -                        "comments", _("Based on the Unicode Character Database 5.2"),
  +                        "comments", _("Based on the Unicode Character Database 6.0.0"),
  -                                     "Copyright © 1991–2009 Unicode, Inc.\n"
  +                                     "Copyright © 1991–2010 Unicode, Inc.\n"

in an ideal world all of this would be in an external package, and it
would be obviously a data-only update.
