It did work for me but I got a error message for the next line,

<errormessage>
error: ...2tex/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/font-otf.lua:2018:
attempt to index field 'description' (a nil value)
.
l.12

?
</errormessage>

My testfile:

01 % engine=luatex
02
03 \definefontfeature
04   [oldstyle]
05   [liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,onum=yes] % texligatures=yes,texquotes=yes
06
07 \setfontfeature{oldstyle}
08
09 \starttext
10
11 123456789 
12
13 \stoptext

I could set "tlig=no" and the error message vanishes.

I think not in this case, but a few OpenType features disable other
(e.g. onum and lnum) and the order could be in souch a case.
