Me too, that is to say, πρά-γμα-τα and πρᾶ-γμα-τα. The matching patterns are
respectively
α1, ά1, .π4
and
α1, ᾶ1, .π4,
i.e. they break after any α, with or without diacritics (the pattern
“.π4” is irrelevant).

I get τέ-κνον, which seems fine. See also this answer by me from 7½
years ago, to a similar question by you:
https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/[email protected]/message/ENQHMKLMIOURMXA6EK7N3EWIINRHKEFR/
In the case of “τέκνον”, the patterns would need to contain “2κ1ν”,
which I would expect between lines and 340 of 341 of
https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen/blob/a76f2ad/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-grc.tex
Since it is missing, it means that the break τέ-κνον (or indeed τε-κνον)
was intended by the author of the patterns.
Best,
Arthur
