The problem is not LaTeX, but the program used for transforming XML source into LaTeX code.
There is no such program. The XML is processed directly by XeTeX (see http://www.eutypon.gr/eutypon/pdf/e2013-31/e31-a02.pdf).
The additional characters and the scholarly emendations are dealt with by LaTeX by means of package teubner.
Neither LaTeX nor Tuebner are being used.
For what concerns Greek your problem probably persists even if you use OpenType fonts, instead of the LGR encoded ones;
I am not using LGR encoding; I am using Palatino Linotype "out of the box" (i.e., as installed in my Windows fonts directory with no adjunct files to re-map anything).
with the latter ones the round and angle brackets are mapped to other chars and interfere with hyphenation. With OpenType fonts it is possible that assigning a positive \lccode to round and angle brackets hyphenation is still possible, but with unexpected results.
Palatino Linotype is supplied in Truetype format : if I were to play with the \lccodes for round and angle brackets, would I also have to re-generate the patterns ?
