The inputenc package is stupid. The latin9 encoding does contain the degree
symbol, but the inputenc package does not know that. The same is true for
\textmu, so if you use the same workaround for \textdegree as is used for
\textmu (force flag in unicodesymbols) it should work.

No. With ERT you are allowed to shoot yourself in the foot, both in normal
text and in mathed.
