So, is this the rule of thumb:

  "You can set the size with `\setmainfont[...][size=...]'
   but there is one exception: with calligra-type1 you have
   to use `\setupsimplefonts[size=...]'."

?

The rationale (I think) is that a document has a  main font size, (the  reference font size) that you can set
 with 
\setupsimplefonts[size=...]
Then, if you need to adjust the size of some variant w.r.t the reference size, then you can use
\setmainfont[...][scale=...]
(and not 
\setmainfont[...][size=...]
)
and it's ok because so you use as reference the main font size.
