I am sorry for my ignorance, I may confuse something since I have never tried to type Greek using "gr" keyboard layout. Writing on possible conflicts I have in mind mostly M-something keybindings. I am looking into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr polytonic symbols. AltGr+s in Greek layout ( levels 3 and 4) are used to type "Ϛ ϛ STIGMATA". On the other hand the "us" layout does not have level 3 and 4 symbols for "s" qwerty key. So I am not sure if it is possible for Emacs input method to add more variants to sigma using XKB AltGr key while "us" keyboard layout is active. On the other hand M-s is busy in Emacs, so using [Alt+s] to type "Ϛ" means issues with regular bindings. [AltGr+"{"] and [AltGr+"}"] are defined as dead keys for accents, so it may cause similar issues.
