I think about the only generic statement you can make is something like
this: Tomcat 4.x is intended to support the internationalization
requirements outlined in the Servlet and JSP specifications, and the
underlying other specifications that they rely on (such as HTTP/1.1).
That being said, there have definitely been bug reports against the
internationalization support -- some of which were valid (and have been
fixed), and some of which were based on misunderstandings of the spec
requirements. I don't see any outstanding I18N related issues in the bug
reports database.
The only way to address specific issues is to have a specific case where
you believe that there is still a problem. Testing against the 4.0.2-rc1
code, or the latest nightly build, would be best to avoid running into
issues that have already been addressed (4.0.2 will be out "real soon
now").
