I confirm this with Okular 0.18.4 (using KDE 4.12.4) on Archlinux x64. In the "Inline Note" tool cyrillic text cannot be seen. It is shown, however, in the floating window which appears if you double-click the inline note.
I'm having similar trouble displaying Greek characters. I wondered if the problem was that the default font for in-line display is not unicode or something. So I tried to change the default font (or the font used for individual notes). It turns out that for me using 0.19.0, any font changes are displayed. So a related bug might be the one I've filed here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334210
It's a Poppler issue. I'm sure there is already some Poppler bug about this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 305534 ***
