TickLabels are special creatures. All properties of text are not supported.
You can download one of many functions in FEX that replace Ticklabels with normal texts.

Hi Assaf, you may be interested in this file from the exchange.

You can use text() with the 'Intepreter' set to 'latex'.

text(x,y,'$\theta','Interpreter','latex')

Sorry, FEX is the File Exchange
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/

The function you tried seems to append tests only, you should remove the original ones: set(gca,'XTickLabel','')
my_xticklabels, for example does that in the function
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/19059-myxticklabels

For example:
plot(1:10)
hxtl = my_xticklabels([2 7],{{'\alpha';'\beta'} '\gamma'})
