Your example in the old thread (with \usepackage[greek]{babel})
works fine for me (miktex 2.9 + lualatex). I don't read greek but
showhyphens shows   χα-λε-πὰ and I see one hyphenated word in the
text.

To get it working you need 

1. a current lualatex.ini which contains the line
\input luatex-unicode-letters.tex

2. the luatex-unicode-letters.tex

3. A lualatex format which has been generated with the above
lualatex.ini

4. I also needed to activate the greek patterns in miktex settings.
