and I am seeing very inconsistent behaviour. If I use $\alpha$ I get an
error (see below), but \gamma is fine. $\tau does
That makes sense. Thank you.

I think you either need to escape the \ as \\ or use a raw string .i.e do
r'$\alpha$' otherwise \a gets interpreted as control character.
try entering '\alpha' in a regular python prompt and you will se what
happens.
