You can change the following definition in font-ini (only in latest beta): 

\def\dododefinefont#1#2%
  {\parsefontspec[#2]{\bodyfontsize}{#1}\getvalue{#1}}

I swapped #1 and #2 -) 

There was a change in the font mechanism, which now also supports the "mo"
spec: 

%D \mapfontsize[10pt][11pt]
%D \mapfontsize[11pt][12pt]
%D \mapfontsize[12pt][13pt]
%D
%D \definefont[test][Serif]\test TEST \par
%D \definefont[test][Serif sa 5]\test TEST \par
%D \definefont[test][Serif mo 5]\test TEST \par
%D \definefont[test][Serif sa d]\test TEST \par
%D \definefont[test][Serif at 60pt]\test TEST \par
%D \definefont[test][Serif scaled 6000]\test TEST \par

which is needed for math times where the math roman has a different size.
