I don't think that is true: plotmath uses the same 5 fontfaces as any
other form of graph annotation. The reason was staring Grothendieck
in the face: the code is
static BBOX RenderNumber(SEXP expr, int draw, mathContext *mc,
R_GE_gcontext *gc, GEDevDesc *dd)
{
BBOX bbox;
FontType prevfont = SetFont(PlainFont, gc);
bbox = RenderStr(CHAR(asChar(expr)), draw, mc, gc, dd);
SetFont(prevfont, gc);
return bbox;
}
so it is by design. Numeric constants are always in PlainFont.

(We do ask people to actually do the thinking before posting a bug
report.)
