in which case ... do you expect that glyph? or maybe one special for 
math? and does its size match the other superscripts that are not in the 
font? these super/sub things are historic ballast and not that useful

anyhow, attached a way to deal with it in your document, but you have to 
load it explicitly with \usemodule[mathcrap]

as soon as math-stream interpretation (as for instance in msword) is 
introduced in mkiv i might consider some collapsing mechanism
