Can you try any English text typeset with Hoefler Text? Maybe the bug is not new in TL2015 but existed even in TL 2014. I cannot help more, I do not have Mac and these problems are Mac specific.

Howdy,

No problems using Hoefler Text under TL2014. Get a macro-expansion failure under TL2015. I believe Khaled has submitted a fix to xetex for this problem.
