Should \alpha in text mode switch back to the "enclosing" level of math or create a new level of math? What if the enclosing level is another level of text? Like an \fbox in an \fbox? Should it break that, too? I still believe there is no obviously correct solution and unless we find one I'd rather stick to the "you get what you order" mantra.
