But then again, allowing these features to work with basic attacks would allow things like Sneak Attack+Hunter's Quarry on a single attack, and other undesirable situation. Has anyone implemented house-rules with respect to this?  I'm considering implementing a rule that allows hybrid characters to use these features on basic attacks, but only one feature may be used per attack.

I can't for the life of me remember even 1 ... for some reason I'm thinking technique feats (like from "We Who Are About To Die ...") that alter an at-will power ... anyway, I'd think that your quandry can be solved the same way. When you make a basic attack, decide if you're making it as a fighter or a ranger. That way you can either mark or do quarry damage, but not both.
