Dunno, AFAIR Thomas use switch to a different font in his greek
module,
in mkiv this is trivia with font fallbacks.

Just FYI: yes, I do use switchtobodyfont in my Greek module, but I
have more or less given up on XeTeX, so I've never encountered the
problem. The font fallback is great for filling in some glyphs, but I
haven't yet used it for entire Greek passages; haven't yet seen the
advantage over switching the bodyfont.
All best
