What about A_\prime? (that is one of the stated reasons in TeXBook on why \prime in CM is big).
Is that used at all? (For that purpose we could have \bigprime or so.)
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.
