No idea, I'm not a mathematician. I don't know how \prime is done in
MkIV, but with OpenType Math the sizing is handled by the ssty¹ feature,
so A^\prime and A_\prime should result in properly sized prime as long
as ssty is applied and no other special tricks are involved. \prime on
its own would still show a small glyph in most fonts, but this shouldn't
be an issue.
¹ ssty maps prime to a bigger glyphs that would be in proper size when
scaled down for script size.

Khaled
