I thought of several possible explanations, linked with incorrect 
\encodingdefault, dispensable \usepackage{textcomp}, missing CM-Super 
fonts, conflicting \oldstylenums, but on closer inspection none of 
these explanations seems to make sense and now I'm getting short of 
time.

BTW, after some experimentation -- unrelated to your example -- I'm now 
having fun with the following font declarations, yielding output with 
old-style ligatures in text (à "La Pléiade", for those familiar with 
the French "intello" book series) and, in math, oldstyle numbers in 
standard size and modern-style numbers in superscripts and subscripts 
(emulating the look of CUP maths books from the 60s and 70s). Such 
effect is easy to achieve in plain TeX (with \textfont, \scriptfont 
etc.), but in LaTeX, which assumes all math sizes come from the same 
font in different sizes, the only trick I could think of is messing 
with the NFSS sizes in points -- so that this works more or less, 
assuming you're not using \tiny or similar.

Here are the declarations (taking into account the inconsistent present 
names of AAT features for Hoefler):

\usepackage{utf8accents}

   {<-> "Hoefler\space Text\space Italic:
           Ligatures=Rare\space Ligatures,Diphthongs%;

        "}{}

        "}{}
\renewcommand{\encodingdefault}{U}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{hoeftxt}

\DeclareFontFamily{U}{hoefmat}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{hoefmat}{m}{n}
   {<-9> "Hoefler\space Text:

    <9-> "Hoefler\space Text

\DeclareFontShape{U}{hoefmat}{bx}{n}
   {<-> ssub * hoefmat/b/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{hoefmat}{bx}{it}
   {<-> ssub * hoefmat/b/it}{}
\newcommand{\mtdefault}{hoefmat}

\SetSymbolFont{operators}{normal}{\encodingdefault}{\mtdefault}{m}{n}
\SetSymbolFont{operators}{bold}  {\encodingdefault}{\mtdefault}{b}{n}
\SetMathAlphabet{\mathrm}{normal}{\encodingdefault}{\mtdefault}{m}{n}
\SetMathAlphabet{\mathbf}{normal}{\encodingdefault}{\mtdefault}{b}{n}
\SetMathAlphabet{\mathit}{normal}{\encodingdefault}{\mtdefault}{m}{it}
\SetMathAlphabet{\mathrm}{bold}  {\encodingdefault}{\mtdefault}{b}{n}
\SetMathAlphabet{\mathit}{bold}  {\encodingdefault}{\mtdefault}{b}{it}

yielding this kind of output (with Lucida used for maths):

It looks strange, probably snobbish, one certainly gets tired of it 
fairly rapidly, and submitting a paper in this form would very likely 
be considered pedantic, but for the moment it's quite fun for 
proofreading!
