[It seems that you only sent the email to me, but it looks like it is
meant for the list, so I re-sent it.]

This works and produces "xyz" in a Roman font:
In [8]:rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
In [9]:text(0,0,r'$\rm xyz$')
Out[9]:<matplotlib.text.Text instance at 0x1729be90>
This fails with an exception:
In [10]:rcParams['text.usetex'] = False
In [11]:text(0,0,r'$\rm xyz$')

In TeX \rm and friends set the font in the current scope. Mathtext
seems to only recognize \rm with an argument in braces, e.g. \rm{xyz}.

That's a pretty tall order (as I'm sure you know). Just for fun, go to
http://latex.olympus.het.brown.edu/ and search for the word
"obfuscated".
