Verner, To confirm what Ann posted, we translate technical documentation, and about 75% of large scale documents our customers submit are in FrameMaker format. Trados is our most commonly used translation tool, and although it *is* possible for a linguist to override a tag and "break" superscript/subscript in pre-processed MIF files, we literally never have this happen.
About 10 years ago there were some earlier versions of competitive products to Trados that *could* drop the end code on super/subscripts in MIF. Such products/processes required more manual touch up after post-processing to translated FrameMaker files. This may be where your boss's impression came from that Trados can have difficulties in this area.
