Are you sure you understand what this data base is used for in Emacs?
The function within mule-cmds.el which uses this data has this
comment:
;; locale-language-names specify both lang-env and coding.
;; But, what specified in locale-preferred-coding-systems
;; has higher priority.
Thus, if you specify UTF-8 as the preferred encoding (e.g., via
LC_ALL), it overrules the Big5 default.

You are confused: an input method can produce Big5 characters, but
that won't prevent Emacs from encoding them in UTF-8 if that's your
preference.
I'm closing this bug.
