It seems to be possible to do subscript in a few different ways with different results. Using the shortcut and in the combo in the Position and Transform section of the Character panel has the subscript lower and in a different point size. I didn't test superscript.

Probably a bug?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Duncan. :)

What you’ve described isn’t actually a bug. The ‘Character > Positioning and Transform’ route positions and transforms glyphs for the regular characters so that they’re smaller and (for subscripts) lower than the originals. The ‘Typography > Subscript’ option uses glyphs for the subscript characters where available, but there will usually only be numerals plus a few alphabetic characters, and the font designer may have chosen to make those glyphs look different from their full-size counterparts.
