keep in mind that this is still somewhat experimental and that i might 
add a bit more control over things

% This doesn't use the fallback featue, so is OK
\definefont[ArabType][Arabtype*fea]

you need to keep in mind that the *featureset specification is notr 
always interpreted, so you need to specify the feature with the 
(symbolic) font name:

\definefontfallback [ara] [Arabtype*fea] [arabic] [force=yes]
\definefontsynonym[Arabicserif][Serif][fallbacks=ara]

% This renders Arabic, but no OpenType features
\definefont[Arabic][Arabicserif]

we might deal withthe following later but currently it is not supported

% This doesn't render Arabic too
\definefont[ArabicFea][Arabicserif*fea]

(one aspect of fallbacks is that each 'subfont' can have its own 
features so inheriting from the parent font is not a good idea)
