In (info "(elisp) Character Properties"):

    Here is the full list of value types for all the character
  properties that Emacs knows about:
[...]
  `decimal-digit-value'
     Corresponds to the Unicode `Numeric_Value' property for characters
     whose `Numeric_Type' is `Digit'.
[...]
  `digit-value'
     Corresponds to the Unicode `Numeric_Value' property for characters
     whose `Numeric_Type' is `Decimal'.

IMO the Numeric_Type of the first one should be ‘Decimal’ and the second
one should be ‘Digit’.  Is it a bug?  If so, I can install a fix.  If
not, why?

I think you are right, and `Decimal' and `Digit' should be swapped
here.
