OK, this proves that ICU works correctly including in the other cases I cited.
Anyway, update 20 of UAX#14 does not seem to have affected it, because it contains mostly editorial changes for clarity.
Why then my suggested changed for clarity of rule LB30 may not be considered too, given that it won’t change anything in ICU?
I can also see that the current code does not split:
Sample Text(ユニコードとは何か)
Between “Text” and the kanas because of the parenthese.
But if I remove the parentheses, a break now correctly occurs in:
Sample Textユニコードとは何か
Isn't it incoherent? And one case where my refined rule (treating opening/closing punctuations as if they were grapheme extenders of the bordering grapheme of the inner text) would be better? Yes I can see that this change would require an additional forward lookup to skip the opening/closing punctuation. I suspect that this case will occur in Japanese/Chinese where some limited inclusions of Latin are present without any space separation, and that may also be written with or without delimiting punctuation.

BTW, http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/breaks.jsp is a demo that shows how parens work differently in different contexts. Paste in some sample text like
Sample Text(s). ユニコードとは(何)か？
Pick "Line"
Click "Test"
