libunistring uses the Gnulib thread stuff as-is and there's no special
case in the thread code when compiled with libunistring.  Could you try
to reproduce the issues with a Gnulib scratch package?

  $ ./gnulib/gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=test-thread --with-tests thread
  $ cd test-thread
  $ ./configure && make && make check

If it fails, I guess it should be reported to bug-gnulib.

I can reproduce (1) on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS guest with the scratch
package, and the symptom of (4) looks similar to the intermittent build
failure of gettext on the Hydra x86_64-darwin host:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/13193519

I'll look into the other issues.  Thanks for the report.
