You should make a bug report and send it to Hans. IMO the \type
should try hard to avoid ligatures (I have no clue how this could be
done, but since Hans did this for \starttyping...\stoptyping, there
is a chance that this might go into \type, too).
One could argue that there should be no ligatures in a tt (or better:
monospaced) font. But this is a point where the opinion of the
experts is not clear. See the thread "bug or feature? aer font
problems":
