OK: When I specify this:

\setmainfont[ExternalLocation=/home/ross/.fonts/]
{SerlioLTStd.otf}%{Serlio LT Std}

in OpenType-info.tex, I get this:

Script='LATN'
Language=Default
Features='aalt','c2sc','frac','ordn','sups','kern'

This is the font from Adobe Font Folio 11 -- which, according to
Arthur -- does have small caps, and which otfinfo also confirms.
Something strange here...
