It does also work when you switch to the “times” typeface *before* \starttext and change the size *after* \starttext:

\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times]     [default]
\definetypeface [times] [ss] [sans]  [helvetica] [default] [rscale=2]

\setupbodyfont[times]
%\setupbodyfont[times,10.5pt] % fails

\starttext

%text {\ss text}

\setupbodyfont[10.5pt]

text {\ss text}

\switchtobodyfont[8.5pt]

text {\ss text}

\stoptext
