\ProvidesPackage{fontspec}
  [2006/12/21 v1.13 Advanced font selection for XeLaTeX]

I see the same problem with your example. In
"\rule{1ex}{1ex}\rule{1ex}{1ex}\supertext\rule{1ex}{1ex}" the third rule
has an extra blank rule before.

No matter which command I use, the extra blank space occurs before.
Actually is not an extra blank space, but a wider space where the
\supertext command is inserted. And this wider space doesn't occur when
the line has an overfull \hbox (and this is a chapter title and it is
right also in both TOC and headers).

Any hint of what I could be wrong here?

Thanks,
