If it's stixsans, then it is possible that mathtext would produce codepoints outside of the BMP (this is due to the way the STIX fonts are encoded). Unfortunately, the standard Python builds for Windows don't support characters in this range.
There might actually be a work around possible in the PDF backend -- but it will have to involve encoding Unicode characters without using Python unicode objects. I'm looking into a patch now.
