That's quite fascinating. I can reproduce the problem without
polyglossia and greek with the euro sign. At the end of words it
disappears. But german Umlauts works fine:
\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{soul}
\begin{document}
This is only a \so{test} \so{äöü} \so{€€€€€}
\so{a€€b€€} \so{€€c €€ d}
\end{document}
