I seem to remember this somehow.
I filed #953474 in 2020, which might be a similar point.

As can be seen, I failed to make appropriate decisions like disabling PDF for
Greek in installation-guide as a result, sadly. Sorry.
(On the other side, not the whole document was affected by this, but only
Greek characters inside of <informalexample> tags, so ...)

What makes this problem even worth is the fact, that dblatex is kind of
orphaned for some years already ...
