Furthermore, when I typeset your example, modified slightly to

>> \documentclass[a4paper]{article}
>> \usepackage{xltxtra}
>> \setmainfont{Cambria}
>> \begin{document}{\tracingall
>> Ἀριθμὸς  \char"1F08
>> }\end{document}

then I get messages:

>>> {into \tracingonline=1}
>>> {the letter Ἀ}
>>> {horizontal mode: the letter Ἀ}
>>> Missing character: There is no Ἀ in font Cambria/ICU:script=latn;language=DFL
>>> T;!
>>> Missing character: There is no ὸ in font Cambria/ICU:script=latn;language=DFL
>>> T;!
>>> {blank space  }
>>> {\char}
>>> Missing character: There is no Ἀ in font Cambria/ICU:script=latn;language=DFL
>>> T;!
>>> {end-group character }}


See attached image as output:

Perhaps my 2006 version of Cambria is older than yours?

	Version	Version 1.00 
	Location	/Users/rossmoor/Library/Fonts/CAMBRIA.TTC
	Unique name	Microsoft: Cambria: 2006
	Manufacturer	Microsoft Corporation
	Designer	Agfa Monotype Corporation
	Copyright	© 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.



It works fine, using   \setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
(see other image)
