From a comment at the top of this file, it looks like it was originally auto-converted from Java, which makes this bogus comparison a bit more sensible. (It might do something useful in java, but it does not in C++.) A bit similar to bug 1073707.

Anyway, we probably want to just drop the comparison, since it can't fail.
This issue is http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/10976.  This was fixed by updating to 55.1
