I see what's going on here. Upper-case Greek letters are always upright
(non-italic) in mathtext. TeX does this, and it is apparently a long
standing American typographic convention.
So, when it goes to print the "\Delta", it looks at "mathtext.rm", which
in your case you have set to "serif

See
The log shows that for some reason it is pulling in
BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman instead of Arev Sans for that character. It
could be that it isn't finding the Arev fonts on your system.

I was working on a figure, using mathtext and the Arev Sans fontset,
and I noticed that \Delta does not display correctly. In fact, none
of the capitol greek letters show up. It claims they are missing
(and I do not default back to CM). However, I _know_ Arev Sans has
