ConTeXt requires multiple passes to get the references right, which
means the first run would always fail if missing references trigger
an error and should be delayed to the second run. Seems possible,
though.

I use the following command to detect wrong references. It's not
pretty, but it does it's job reasonably well.

  pdftotext <file.pdf> - | grep -E '\?\?|!!'
