Indeed, I was looking at the 3.2.0 database (assuming that it would be
the same in subsequent versions).

Correct. So it seems this needs to be fixed in makeunicodedata.py
already. This was not the case with earlier versions of Unicode (which
never had a mapping to the same code point).

The logic for using deltas is also incorrect, so makeunicodedata.py
needs to be fixed anyway.
