It is not. “dir node” means “direction node” in this context. Nodes are LuaTeX internal data structure objects.
Various bits of ConTeXt manipulate these objects, and sometimes the reference counting goes off and one
whose memory has already been given back to the operating system is asked to release its memory again.
The message is harmless, but it points to a small lua programming error somewhere in the source (either
by the author or by ConTeXt).
Best wishes,
Taco
