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
