Character entities and RTF backend

I am having a problem with converting character entities with the
RTF-backend to Jade. The problem is that Jade doesn't seem to convert some
(almost arbitrarily chosen) characters, for example:

&#128;
&#157;
&#153;
&#135;
&#154;

In my SGML instance I use entities like this one: &esmogr; and they are
mapped to character entities as the above mentioned in a separate file like
this:

<!ENTITY esmogr   "<EGRK>&#157;</EGRK>" >

What happens is that I get no character at all in my RTF file.

But it does convert characters like:

&#194;
&#184;
&#176;

These characters are mapped in the same way as the characters I described above.

When I use the TeX backend, every character is converted as it should be. Is
this a bug in the RTF backend?
