Has to be with how tex works. The argument of any macro (\doifmode{mode}{...}
in this case) is scanned under the current catcode regime. So, any environment
(like typing) which changes catcodes does work inside the argument to another
macro.
So, either use the environment version of \doifmode (which doesn't _capture_ it
content):
\definetyping[T]
\definemode[mode][yes]
\starttext
\startmode[mode]
\startT
Bla
\stopT
\stopmode
\stoptext
Or use buffers (to avoid catcode all together):
\definetyping[T]
\definemode[mode][yes]
\starttext
\startbuffer[code]
\startT
Bla
\stopT
\stopbuffer
\doifmode{mode}{\getbuffer[code]}
\stoptext
or (note type**T**buffer so that the output is formatting according to the
options of \definetyping[T])
\definetyping[T]
\definemode[mode][yes]
\starttext
\startbuffer[code]
Bla
\stopbuffer
\doifmode{mode}{\typeTbuffer[code]}
\stoptext
Perhaps this should be added to the FAQ on the wiki.
