Ulrike, thanks a lot for keeping asking questions on this and Philipp
for answering.

I have figured experimentally that I could use (at least in some cases,
and after math fonts are initialized which in LaTeX seems to mean
one needs to enter math mode at least once before)

\font\fixmath=\fontname\textfont\foo mode=base;
\textfont\foo=\fixmath

for example creating this \fontname:

[Vollkorn-Regular]:mode=node;script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;+lnum;mode=base;

which is then experimentally observed to obey the second mode specifier
and thus does display lining figures in math mode.
