The problem lies here:

\definefontsynonym[Dummy]          ['\typescripttwo:mapping=tex-text']
  [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyItalic]
['\typescripttwo/I:mapping=tex-text'] [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBold]
['\typescripttwo/B:mapping=tex-text'] [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic]['\typescripttwo/BI:mapping=tex-text'][encoding=uc]

Some definitions have indeed been changed, but no keyword equivalent
for mapping has been introduced yet. (Adding file:, name:, ... broke
that functionality ...)

There is a workaround (quick fix) for this (at least it seems to work
here), but this is not a nice solution. You can add the following
definitions at the beginning of the document (or fix the corresponding
places; also for sans ad mono):

\starttypescriptcollection[xetex]

\starttypescript[Xserif][all][name]
\definefontsynonym[Dummy]          [name:\typescripttwo]    [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyItalic]    [name:\typescripttwo/I]  [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBold]      [name:\typescripttwo/B]  [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic][name:\typescripttwo/BI] [encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript

\stoptypescriptcollection

\def\fontfilename#1{"#1:mapping=tex-text"}


But there is a meeting today anyway ...
