Not sure why you would expect en_US collation to give appropriate results
for Greek?  I think you'd need el_GR.

Be that as it may, Postgres doesn't define anything about this --- we
just rely on the collations supplied by the respective system libraries
(libc or ICU).  You'd need to file bugs against those libraries if you
think their behavior should change.
