As a Brit, I find some of these really strange as they sound totally different to me. I've got to learn how each country pronounces common words.

imminent/immanent
(some of the pairs people have listed are NOT pronounced the same... and some are spelled the same, with different meanings - but those are homophones, not homonyms)

I'm not British and a bunch of these pairs don't have the same pronunciation to me either.
for ex: there /they're- I don't pronounce these the same. ellicit/illicit- I pronounce them as they're spelled, and a bunch of other. etc...

As to pronunciation this most certainly depends on which country one lives in because I find some of the examples posted by Americans/Israelis seem totally incorrect to me as an Aussie. With some of the words how they are pronounced does depend on the context they're used in.
