Yes. That's why I said pdflatex was just for reference :-)

Yes, my file is UTF-8 (that was actually the first thing I verified[1]).
The author of XeTeX has actually recommended that inputenc not be used
with XeTeX; I tried numerous permutations of googled things in trying
to get that document to render before settling on the empty header.
However, since you recommended inputenc, here's the error that
inputenc gives with pdflatex:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:ΠΆ not set up for use with LaTeX.
That's a Cyrillic capital te, U+4022, which is included in utf8ienc[2].
So, my guess is one of the packages in texlive-full forgot to
configure something, but I don't know enough about TeX to know what.
I'm on an amd64 machine, but I don't think that would make a
difference with TeX?
Oh, and in case it matters, I have four (linguistics-related) .sty
files in my ~/texmf/tex/latex/ . It looks like TeX just doesn't know
where any of its fonts are except computer modern, though.
[1]To be perfectly transparent, proof that it's in utf8:
