Bur surely the fact that $\beta$ is displayed $β$ is a consequence of
org-entities.el? Whether desirable or not.

I would like to agree, but I get too much joy from the current
imprecise implementation. From a practical perspective the current
state is OK and much preferable over the alternative. IOW and IMO,
let's not touch it unless we've got something better!

Just out of curiosity, can you mention a couple of (org) function to
look at to see how fontification works?
