The party-switching NPC is only available in "racecave" mode, because switching in the cave is complicated and it breaks the balance of the cave somewhat.
DavidB, I agree that the current implementation is suboptimal, but I don't think fixing it would improve things much. You'd still have to backtrack to the airship every time you want to change party members. Doing it this way simplifies the programming quite a bit, and I felt that it was a reasonable tradeoff.
Maybe try the "racecave" mode instead? "ancientcave" requires lots of backtracking by design; it's supposed to be a very long campaign. But in "racecave" you shouldn't need to backtrack at all, and you can switch your party members at the rest stops.
