I have to admit that it I never understood which encoding to use when....
if, for example, I just write english/german/french then I could also use texnansi, this works perfect :

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
\usetypescript[times][texnansi]
\mainlanguage[de]
\enableregime[utf]

\setupbodyfont[times,9pt]

it is version 2007.01.12 (didn't you recommend to stay with the january version?)

I was wondering whether the xetex or the context list is better as it is a mixed xetex/context-topic
and for Adam is in "paternity leave" I had no idea on which list someone continues.

right, "Times Roman:mapping=tex-text": This also happened to me when using ...

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
\usetypescript[times][uc]

... that's why I used ...

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
\usetypescript[times][ec]


... but probably I should have used "texnansi" (see above).
