(to clarify: 'odd' is not emphasized in header)

This is common problem for all 'gloss-*.ldf' files which have
'\normalfontlatin' in they definitions (for example: greek, bulgarian,
ukrainian, serbian, coptic). If you comment '\normalfontlatin' in
'gloss-russian.ldf' you get desired result.

This problem doesn't appear if you use 'fancyhdr' package (it should be
loaded after polyglossia of course).

bug, n:
	An elusive creature living in a program that makes it incorrect.

	when people get tired of doing it, not when the bugs are removed.
