Is it by design that \ss wipes out \bold? Although \ss\bold works as
expected, \bold\ss results only in \ss.

right, \rm \ss \tt \hw \cg ... do a rather massive switch and set the font
to regular
If this is annoying, I can make it an option.

For the casual user \ss\bold or \bold\ss are the same thing. If you
don't know about font families and such.
I don't mind anymore, but I can remember being suprised a bit by it
sometimes as well.
Groetjes,

\ss is a massive style switch
\bold or \bf is simple font switch
\ssbf is a fast font switch for a style [no math fam switch]
The last one can often be used in pure text apps and is fast, while \bf
also sets \bfx and \bfxx and \tx and \txx
