Oh, sorry, it seems, that patch loss its indentation.
And, finally, I reproduce this bug with different versions of matplotlib
(0.98...0.99), TeX distribution (Tetex, TexLive), fonts (helvetica,
serif) and system (FreeBSD 7.2 too)!
I really don't know, how to correctly fix this.

I have the same bug, but with cyrillic letter "я" (KeyError: 255).
Code to reproduce:
from matplotlib import rc
rc('text', usetex=True)
rc('text.latex',unicode=True)
rc('text.latex',preamble='\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}')
rc('text.latex',preamble='\usepackage[russian]{babel}')
pyplot.title(u"багря
