No, the symbol is not in the 'standard' math fonts, and this is trouble. 
Like LaTeX, we also fake the glyph in MkII. In MkIV, we check if the font 
contains that glyph; if not we fake it. Currently, that test is failing.

A temporary workaround (for LM) is to redefine:

\def\repeatintegral#1#2#3%
   {\let\dointlimits\donothing
    \let\dodointlimits\intlimits
    %\iffontchar\textfont\zerocount#1\relax
    % %\edef\dodorepeatintegral{\utfchar{#1}}%
    %  \let\dodorepeatintegral#2%
    %\else
       \fakerepeatintegral{#3}%
    %\fi
    \futurelet\next\dorepeatintegral}

and then \iint \iiint etc will work.

Hans, do you know what the \textfont check is not working for LM?

The ideal solution is to add esint glyphs to the LM math  virtual font. I 
did not work on this because I was assuming that opentype LM math will be 
out soon. But it seems that right now, the only decent opentype math font 
is Cambria. Both Stix and Asansa give really horrible spacing at times.
