This is because when the 'Interpreter' property is set to 'tex' (the
default) Greek letters are produced from the Symbol font. There is no
italic version of the Symbol font. Whenever you have seen slanted Greek
letters from that font they have been slanted by PostScript code.

My Styled Text Toolbox can do what you want (by post-processing the PS
code), but you might want to try setting the 'Interpreter' to 'latex'
instead:

text(x,y,'$\omega$', 'Interpreter','latex')

will produce an italic omega using a PS version of the font normally
used by LaTeX.
