Thanks,
I just created a bug ticket:
http://bugs.python.org/issue10459

The omissions of character names seem to be:

龼 (0x9fbc) - 鿋 (0x9fcb)
 (CJK Unified Ideographs [19968-40959] [0x4e00-0x9fff])

𪜀 (0x2a700) - 𫜴 (0x2b734)
(CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C [173824-177983] [0x2a700-0x2b73f])

𫝀 (0x2b740) - 𫠝 (0x2b81d)
 (CJK Unified Ideographs Extension D [177984-178207] [0x2b740-0x2b81f])

(Also the unprintable ASCII controls, Surrogates and Private use area,
where the missing names are probably ok.)

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide a patch, mainly because of
unicodadate being C code.
A while ago I considered writing some unicodedata enhancements in
python, which would support the ranges and script names, full category
names etc., but sofar the direct programatic lookups in the online
unicode docs and with some simple processing also do work
sufficiently...
