Why do you think that?  I'd think by far the most common case would be
people who checked out but didn't build (i.e. the easy-to-detect
case).

Emacs does not attempt to do a rigorous up-to-date check anywhere
else, why should it do that here?  That's especially true given the
low frequency of changes in unicode data files -- if the generated
files exist at all, they're probably good enough to use for a
snapshot.
