A freshly installed TeXLive 2014 produces OK output from its version of fontspec’s fontspec-example.tex, but after updating with TeXLive utility the new one fails with

\l__fontspec_tmpa_fp {\l__...
l.8 ...sfont{TeX Gyre Heros}[Scale=MatchLowercase]

That is followed by

It looks as though it has forgotten how to do floating divides.
Removing the options e.g. [Scale=MatchLowercase] allows it to compile a pdf but of course with ugly sizes.
Reinstalling a fresh 2014 over the top of it returns it to sanity but with options preceding the font name as in 2013.
This in on a Mac with 10.9.3
