scanned image of the formula

It is impossible to typeset the attached formula in Math, while it is possible in LaTeX:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
  \rlap{$\overbrace{\phantom{a+b}}^x$}a
     +\underbrace{b+c}_y
\]
\end{document}

The formatting command like \rlap is missing from Math.

I am confirming this bug. Status set to NEW. There remains no elegant way to typeset the indicate formula in Math. Attached is a screenshot (taken under Crunchbang 11 linux running v4.1.3.2) showing an inelegant workaround, but the line spacing remains too great. Formula in the screenshot:

stack { 
alignl { { phantom { a "+" b } } overbrace x } #
a "+" b "+" c # 
alignr { { phantom { b "+" c } } underbrace y } 
}
