I'm sorry it doesn't work for me either. (have TL2005 on WinXP)
I still get the message "I can't find the TeX format 'cont-en'" unless I copy it into the 'web2c' directory.

I've noticed this in context.cnf:

TEXMFMAIN     = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf
TEXMFLOCAL    = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-local
TEXMFFONTS    = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-fonts
TEXMFEXTRA    = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-extra
TEXMFPROJECT  = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-project
VARTEXMF      = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-var
TEXMF         = {!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

% --- cut ---

TEXFORMATS    = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,} 

It's strange that there isn't $VARTEXMF included in the TEXMF path. I've tried to add it:

TEXMF         = {!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$VARTEXMF}

but with no result... :-(

I'm attaching the complete context.cnf file for reference.
