(I accidentally sent the email too early.)

I wanted to add that unless/until somebody implements complex bounding
boxes (OpenType Math font for whatever font you are using), you cannot
avoid the problem. TeX has no idea how big Y is, it only knows its
rectangular bounding box. Cases like this one have to be manually
tuned.
