Actually, on closer inspection, texmf/tex/latex/base/latin1.def
contains
\DeclareInputMath{177}{\pm}
while other symbols use \DeclareInputText{}{}. Apparently
the former macro isn't behaving as advertised. Unfortunately
I can't follow the code in inputenc.sty, so I've no idea
why this might be.
I also noticed a file texmf/tex/latex/misc/isolatin1.sty
which contains
\catcode177=13 \def^^b1{$\pm$}
although this file doesn't appear to provide macros for all
of the higher latin1 characters.
