Yeah, after looking more carefully I think I see what the report wanted
to do -- use the unicode character ρ instead of \rho in LaTeX math mode.
Well, it won't surprise me it didn't work.

I'm marking it incomplete instead, since the reporter talks a lot about
XeTeX.  If the reporter can point at something saying this is supposed
to work in XeTeX, we'll look into it more.  Otherwise, for (La)TeX I
agree this is not a bug, at least not an Ubuntu bug (should be a
wishlist bug for LaTeX upstream to improve UTF-8 support instead).
