Strange.  The Greek line in the HELLO file of CVS HEAD trunk
is surely the same as what you suggest.

The file contents is this (ESC chars are written as "^["):

Greek (^[,FEkkgmij\^[(B)		^[,FCei\^[(B ^[,Fsar^[(B

^[,F is the designation sequence for ISO8859-7, ^[(B is the
designation sequence for ASCII.  So, there should be no
ASCII letters within parentheses and after TAB.  Could you
pleast start Emacs with "-nw --no-site-file" arg, and visit
the file .../etc/HELLO directly?  Do you still see incorrect
letters?
