Yes, the problem exists in FM8 and FM9, even when using Unicode fonts -- it 
seems that the equation editor is not entirely Unicode-compatible.

Workaround: In Windows' Regional and Language Options, under Advanced, 
select English under the field titled "Select a language to match the 
language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use:". Restart the 
computer (typically required); large operators/symbols should display 
properly now.

[but... this may cause text in some non-Unicode applications to be 
displayed incorrectly]
