opps! Maybe not a bug. I tried a simple example using the developer’s sources 
(default branch).

graphics_toolkit qt
plot (rand (3))
text (0.5, 0.5, "\lambda is a greek letter", "horizontalalignment", "center")
print ("qt_greek.tex", "-depslatexstandalone”);

The tex output is below.

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{epsfig,color}
\usepackage[papersize={576.00bp,432.00bp},text={576.00bp,432.00bp}]{geometry}
