Out of morbid curiosity I went source diving, and the culprit is this
bit (which will also break if a version component ever goes above 999):

    /* write the decimal field value */
    field=versionArray[part];
    if(field>=100) {
        *versionString++=(char)('0'+field/100);
        field%=100;
    }
    if(field>=10) {
        *versionString++=(char)('0'+field/10);
        field%=10;
    }
    *versionString++=(char)('0'+field);

(https://sources.debian.org/src/icu/72.1-3/source/common/putil.cpp#L2308)

because apparently snprintf() is too hard?
