The problem appears in other characters too, e.g. in all the accented
lowercase letters (άέήίόύώ) and possibly in more:

The affected characters from the Greek Unicode ranges are:
ʹ (u0374) gets transformed to ʹ (u02B9)
; (u037E) gets stripped
΅ (u0385) gets transformed to ΅ (u1FEE)
Ά (u0386) gets transformed to Ά (u1FBB)
· (u0387) gets transformed to · (u00B7)
Έ (u0388) gets transformed to Έ (u1FC9)
Ή (u0389) gets
Although this may be fixed in the upstream project's revision control
system it is not actually Fix Committed for the Ubuntu package of that
software. Subsequently, I am setting the bug task back to Triaged.

This is fixed now in the CVS. Thanks for the report.

Title:
man displays φ (u03C6)
groff_char(7) seems to document some oddities around phi:
These glyphs are intended for technical use, not for real Greek;
normally, the uppercase letters have upright shape, and the lowercase
ones are slanted. There is a problem with the mapping of letter phi to
Unicode. Prior to Unicode
being conservative, groff currently assumes that `phi' in a
PostScript symbol font is the stroked version.
Ouch, yeah if there are printers out there with embedded fonts that follow
Unicode 3.0, that's a good point. But on the other hand it breaks Greek man
