What version of fontspec do you have?
It seems okay to me -- do you see the same problem with

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,draft]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newcommand{\supertext}{\addfontfeature{HyphenChar="2013}}
\setromanfont{Hoefler Text}
\begin{document}
\rule{1ex}{1ex}\supertext\rule{1ex}{1ex}
\end{document}

for example?

Careful, you either mean {\supertext idea} here or
   \newcommand{\supertext}[1]{{\addfontfeature{HyphenChar="2013}#1}}

Hope this helps,
