Because it is not in the form suitable for FreeBSD. Do you check other collates before making your variant?

I preserve as much of your variant as I can, making it ASCII backward-compatible.

I am not sure what your question is exactly. There are certain rules. I.e when you sort ASCII file, it must remains the same as with LANG=C for compatibility reasons. Your variant not pass this requirement. I don't remember why I don't reject it initially and let it in. -- Andrey A.
