bug#64212: 29.0.91; \Phi missing in TeX input method

FWIW, the TeX input method uses a lot of such Greek letters already.

That would work, but I think the problem was in the regexp and the patch
below should fix it The Right Way.  Should I push it to `master` or are
we still considering such fixes for `emacs-29`?
