I did this quick test in 2d for a Poisson problem

https://github.com/cpraveen/fembook/blob/master/deal.II/ex04/demo.cc 
<https://github.com/cpraveen/fembook/blob/master/deal.II/ex04/demo.cc>
(Change quadrature rules in this code as indicated below)

degree=1
assembly using QGauss(2)
error computed using QGauss(2)

cells   dofs        L2         H1seminorm       
  1024   1089 1.606e-03    - 2.517e-01    - 
  4096   4225 4.015e-04 2.00 1.259e-01 1.00 
 16384  16641 1.004e-04 2.00 6.295e-02 1.00 
 65536  66049 2.510e-05 2.00 3.148e-02 1.00 
262144 263169 6.275e-06 2.00 1.574e-02 1.00 

We just observe the standard convergence rates, does not indicate 
superconvergence.

The following two also yield standard convergence rates

degree=1
assembly using QGauss(2)
error computed using QGaussLobatto(2)

degree=1
assembly using QGaussLobatto(2)
error computed using QGaussLobatto(2)

This indicates there is no superconvergence at the mesh vertices.

(In all cases above, the matrix is exactly assembled.)
