Thanks for pointing out this issue - I have fixed this with:
https://github.com/pediapress/mwlib.rl/commit/2c8f579ddbe74c822701e24dab838c781a8e7c53

I'll update the render servers later

I have fixed this issue as well:

The problem with overlines is that this is simply not supported by the
pdf-framework we are using. I'll see if I can add support for overlines with a
reasonable amount of work.

Just for the record: a workaround would be to use the "Combining Overline"
character as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overline
I know that this is not really a solution to the problem ;)
