No, the problem originally reported was that $\textdegree$ does not work in 
1.5 (in a file that requested textcomp). This is at least indicated by the 
testcase (I didn't follow the actual thread).

TeXLive 2007, without textcomp loaded:

                            latin1   latin9
° in math                   works    works*
\textdegree in math         works    works*
° in text                   works**  works**
\textdegree in text (ERT)   works    works

TeXLive 2007, with textcomp loaded:

                            latin1              latin9
° in math                   does not work       does not work
\textdegree in math         does not work       does not work
° in text                   works**             works**
\textdegree in text (ERT)   works               works

* although I get error messages: 
./degree.tex:16: Command \textdegree invalid in math mode on input line 16.
./degree.tex:18: Command \^ invalid in math mode on input line 18.
./degree.tex:18: Command \textdegree invalid in math mode on input line 18.

** sort of: in both encodigs, I get an additional weird character

So the problem is: what can we do with $\textdegree$ and $°$ in case textcomp 
is requested?
