No idea, I'm not a mathematician. I don't know how \prime is done in MkIV, but with OpenType Math the sizing is handled by the ssty¹ feature, so A^\prime and A_\prime should result in properly sized prime as long as ssty is applied and no other special tricks are involved. \prime on its own would still show a small glyph in most fonts, but this shouldn't be an issue. ¹ ssty maps prime to a bigger glyphs that would be in proper size when scaled down for script size.
