[XeTeX] OldStyle symbols with Hoefler Text?

With Adobe Garamond Pro, when I use

\defaultfontfeatures{Numbers={Proportional,OldStyle}}

...it also outputs "lowercase" symbols - for example, the dollar sign
matches the numbers.

However, in Hoefler Text, I can't get the symbols to match the numbers
- I always get the capital dollar sign.

I can manually select the lowercase dollar sign in Hoefler Text using
Pages, through "Glyph Variants" in the typography panel.

This seems like it could be a problem with the buggy version of
Hoefler Text in Mac OS X, but is there a way to manually select the
lowercase dollar sign glyph as a workaround?

Screenshots illustrating the problem attached.
