I would guess that TM and R symbols were cast in hot metal also, but that's beside the point. The rules of what looks right and therefore what looks wrong were established in an age of solid metal type on inflexible bodies, and those rules have remained as the guiding principles even though typesetting has evolved. Rules are flexible now obviously. Its fashionable to track type much closer than tradition would allow, but I personally would draw the line at setting charcaters within the domain of other characters... give or a take a bit of visual license.
That's just my belief. I'm the son of a hot metal printer, its in my blood.
Now then young man, fetch my slippers and warm the commode, I feel a bowel movement coming on.
