Since a native method is not forthcoming, I shall post my file based circumvention, for Windows.
You will need to have this utility in the command path (it apparently is stock with Windows 7).
copyUnicode[expr_] := Run["clip <",
Export["$Clipboard.temp", ToString[expr, InputForm],
"Text", CharacterEncoding -> "Unicode"] ];
Usage:
expr ...

To circumvent Mathematica's internal representation, I decided to use the operating system. Of course, this means it's only going to work on Mac OS X because it uses Cocoa bindings in the built-in Python interpreter:
copyAsUnicode[t_] := Module[{
out = FileNameJoin[{$TemporaryDirectory,
"MathematicaOutput" <> StringJoin[Map[ToString, ...

It seems that the problem can be solved by setting explicit value of the CharacterEncoding global FE option (checked with MMa 8.0.4 and 9.0.0):
SetOptions[$FrontEnd, CharacterEncoding -> "UTF8"];
Export["test.pdf", "кириллический текст"]
An equivalent way (without changing the global FE settings):
Export["test.pdf",
Style["кириллический текст", ...

I had started working on a homegrown solution to this issue, directly by downloading Unicode data from the source. I’ll post it here, as it may be expanded to other functions were Java might not come and save the day!
unicodeData = StringSplit[#, ";"] & /@
StringSplit[Import["ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt"], "\n"];

The following workaround works at least for Linux with Mathematica version 8.0.0.0; it might work on other systems, too:
Step 1: Open a terminal window (with UTF8 encoding) and start directly the kernel there.
Step 2: Enter $CharacterEncoding="UTF8" and press Enter. Ideally the kernel would figure that out itself from the locale, but for some reason it ...

I found the following workaround for Windows systems. Go to the Control Panel and select Regional & Language Options. Under the Advanced tab select "Greek" as the language for non-Unicode programs. Note that the option to change is not the language for "Standards and Formats". It is the language for non-Unicode programs.
Now Greek letters will be ...
