Same here (that is, after realizing I needed to switch TeXShop to  
UTF-8 encoding in order to process your example):

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)

I rather suspect the culprit is Fondu, the font utility, installed by  
i-Installer, which is used when the TeX i-Package is installed to  
convert the .dfont files from /Library/Fonts/ to .ttf format.

One possibility could be that the version of Fondu installed by i- 
Installer is incompatible with the Hoefler fonts shipped with Leopard.  
However, I checked at the Fondu site <http://fondu.sourceforge.net/>  
and it seems Fondu hasn't been updated since the beginning of 2006,  
while the Fondu i-Package is dated October 2006.

Hence it seems either a bug in Fondu, or a bug in pdfTeX which  
couldn't deal with the .ttf files produced by Fondu.

I don't think he's subscribed anymore.
