When in text or math text mode (\mathrm, \mathit, \mathbf) I access Greek letters via the respective latex commands (e.g. \gamma, \Gamma) no character is printed. Using Unicode Greek letters, however, everything is ok.

This appears to be a commonly confused point. `\gamma` "points to" a mathematical gamma symbol, so if the text font in \mathbf (or whatever) doesn't have mathematical letters it won't show anything.
It's not entirely out of the question that `\gamma` could point to a text gamma if inside `\mathbf` and a math gamma if not...

I was going to reply similarly but I suspect it is easier to make it work
than document why it's reasonable that it doesn't work.
\gamma points, via the mathcode, to whatever whatever unicode slot matches
the current \symbxx alphabet so I suppose it's not unreasonable that for
\mathxx it points to its natural unicode slot.
