This is getting stranger and stranger. Open the SVG from #19 in Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819 and the "delta" is in English. Moreover
I just discovered that control-U 03B4 does not insert a visible lower case delta character in the trunk version built yesterday, while it does in the older version just cited. However, I can cut and paste an arial unicode delta created in the older version into the newer version and it will be visible.
