While working to get italic smallcaps in a secondary font face, I came
across an issue with \switchbodyfont. When this is used in a certain
way, the \tf font-style is changed, but not the \it, \bf, and so on.
The example below compiles cleanly as presented, and the problem is not
present. Each test line shows the expected font name and text.
When the Oops! line is uncommented, the only test line for the test font
that is correct is the \tf line. Other lines use the default font face
in the specified font styles, but the font features are a mix (note that
some are onum, some lining, and that long-s t ligatures are inconsistent).
When the newotf module is enabled, the example fails to compile without
errors, but produces similar results to non-newotf when the errors are
ignored.
This is not a problem with individual fonts—I have tried a variety of
fonts both as default and secondary and get the same result.

\setupwhitespace[medium]

Have I failed to properly specify the secondary typeface? Do I need a
mostly changed names of the fonts, a missing directive (i'll add a
fallback for that) and such ... patched in the next beta
