This is fixed in version 1.5a, see
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/babel-contrib/greek/README

Also, please mind that Xe/LuaTeX support is still patchy and experimental:

  Babel defines macros for several autogenerated strings so that they may
  appear in the choosen language. babel-greek uses LICR macros in order
  to let the string macros work independent of the font encoding.

  This requires support for Greek LICR macros in XeTeX/LuaTeX.
  
As currently, xunicode and LuaTeX do not support Greek LICR macros, any
auto-generated string leads to an error. Simple text parts in Greek,
however, should work fine.
