FYI, I've just filed a bug report with Apple about this.

Are you sure? That doesn't work for me.... I still get the oldstyle 
numerals (and a warning in the .log).

I assume that a workaround would be to install the Hoefler Text font 
from your old Panther system; but as the features were a mess there, 
IIRC, you might wish to only use the Regular face from there and the 
other faces from Tiger. Even though the styles are bundled into a 
single .dfont, you can do that with judicious disabling of fonts in 
FontBook.
