Simple: the diacritics don't work because they aren't there. My version of
Palatino Linotype has only the following from the combining-diacritics
block:
U+0300 combining grave accent
U+0301 combining acute accent
U+0303 combining tilde (*not* combining Greek perispomeni)
U+0309 combining hook above (*not* U+0313 combining comma above / psili,
although it looks like one)
U+0312 combining turned comma above (*not* U+0314 combining inversed comma
above / dasia, and it's really a spacing glyph!)
U+0323 combining dot below
U+0326 combining comma below (*not* U+0345 combining ypogegrammeni)
The choice seems fairly random; maybe it was done by someone with a Greek
in mind but only a very superficial idea of what you need for it?
