I know that. However, it is certainly not normal that your latex
format is older than alrtcle.cls. I think you forgot to rebuild the
format...

It does not translate into \textdegree (this is done at latex
level). What it does (also for a bunch of other characters) is to add
\ensuremath{} around the character when encoding is latin1. What I do
not know is whether this is still needed, since it is really a hack.
