not true; what you observe is that font defs are frozen; an option is to define 
multiple typeface collections, since these store information; so,


\definetypeface[timesa][rm][serif][times][default[encoding=texnansi]

\definetypeface[timesb][rm][serif][times][default[encoding=ec]

now you can use both intermixed

\timesa \bf test \pushcurrentfont \timesb \popcurrentfont test
