I just installed a brand new version of MediaWiki from git HEAD currently at ecefa8f10821, with no extensions or special configurations. After running composer update I ran the phpunit.php and got 9 errors all pertaining to the CollationFaTest::testGetFirstLetter complaining that "An ICU collation was requested, but the intl extension is not available."
The unit test was added by @Bawolff in May 2017.

This is probably nevertheless valid. I think we don't require php-intl for MediaWiki to run, so the test should skip itself when it's not installed. Like this I guess: (copied from XMLTest)
protected function setUp() {
parent::setUp();
if ( !extension_loaded( 'intl' ) ) {
$this->markTestSkipped( "PHP extension 'intl' is not loaded, skipping." );
}
