Bug#1026986:
Great, but not 100% fixed.
The following functionality is not fixed:
WHAT MUST HAPPEN:
Type KEY ; (in Greek is the CHAR "'") - This is a
"dead" key and nothing happens
Type KEY COMBINATION Shift-; (in Greek is the CHAR """) - This is a
"dead" key and nothing happens
Type KEY y (in Greek is the CHAR "υ"). The CHAR "ΰ"
must appear in tty (you have it with Alt+0944 key combination)
What HAPPENS AFTER LAST UPDATE:
Type KEY ; (in Greek is the CHAR "'") - This is a
"dead" key and nothing happens - CORRECT
Type KEY COMBINATION Shift-; (in Greek is the CHAR """) - The CHAR "'"
appears in tty - WRONG! (This is a "dead" key and nothing must happen)
Type KEY y (in Greek is the CHAR "υ"). Two CHARs
"'ϋ" appear in tty - WRONG! (This is not 'ϋ but ΰ)
So, there are 2 consecutive dead keys here.
This functionality exists only for 2 characters:
ι => ΐ (keys ; Shift-; i OR Shift-; ; i)
υ => ΰ (keys ; Shift-; y OR Shift-; ; y)
More info here under the header "Greek" (plain):

The MS Windows implementation method (just for reference - it breaks
the SAME keyboard layout between tty and X):
Instead of keys ; Shift-; y to get character "ΰ" (linux way)
they use Shift-w y to get character "ΰ" (Windows way)
(This produces 2 characters "Συ" in Linux).
