Bugs are sent to to the tech support team. FWIW, though, it's already been
fixed in the internal development version of Mathematica, along with a few otherrelated issues such as the handling of Super/Sub Plus and Minus.
For now, you'll have to remember to explicitly use the FullForm version of,
e.g., SuperDagger[x].
