True. Thanks for pointing it out. Indeed, \babelprovide with the
ochar=id fonts option only makes sense when 1 foreign language = 1
script. For example, different variants of Greek cannot be combined
without an explicit switch.

And something like this wouldn't work either:

\babelprovide[import,onchar=id fonts]{russian}
\babelprovide[import,onchar=id fonts]{bulgarian}
\babelfont[russian]{rm}[Color=blue]{Old Standard}
\babelfont[bulgarian]{rm}[Color=green]{FreeSerif}

because bulgarian overwrites russian.

Well, another added complication :-(.
