Yes, that's probably the reason (and a lesson I learned to never enable
collation fix again), but my question is different: why legacy libraries
that are copied to compat/pkg are missing symlinks?

Yes, this is fine and understandable.  I actually do not want to update
all ports every time something stupid like icu gets a bump.  All I want
that old applications remain working by being able to find libraries in
/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg.  I have a mixture of old and new packages on
my laptop at any given time, but icu is the *only* one that constantly
breaks everything once it's updated. :(
