I can see why this is happening, and I've fixed it up for the  
upcoming Christmas release.
The error is due to trying to apply the AAT feature [Diacritics=Show]  
(which shouldn't be required very often; not sure why it's in  
\defaultfontfeatures) to the ICU-rendered Hiragino font. Either  
adding [Renderer=AAT] to that font, or removing [Diacritics=Show]  
will fix the error for now.

In the upcoming release, you'll just get a warning instead.

Cheers,
Will
