You can avoid this error, if you set Document>Settings>Language>encoding to some other value than the default "use langauge default" (which uses a the respective default encoding for every *part* of the document). I recommend "ASCII" or "latin1". "Unicode (utf8)" only works if you install Greek Unicode support (e.g. with the lgrx package (part of texlive-greek in versions with TeXLive2012) e.g. in Debian/testing or newer Ubuntu versions) and select the font encodings "LGRx,T1" Günter
