The Serif anoteleia isn't hinted, while Serif dotcentered is, so that could 
cause the different look. It could also be that you have the autohinter 
enabled and the autohinter is making different choices for both glyphs 
(wouldn't be the first time that references look differently than original 
glyph with autohinter).

Be my guest :-) Easiest way would be to make prime a reference to the Greek 
number sign. Don't forget to adjust double prime as well if you make a patch.
