See below

Right, concerning dvi I think the only advantage of later version is
that pdftex does not load the map file when in dvi mode. Saves some
milliseconds.

Ok, so the dutch interface is loaded. TeXexec tries to be clever and
parses the file first. It does not find an english clue. You can force
an interface in the file itself (btw also this seems to be a web2c
feature but I'm not sure about that).
When you add the first line:
% interface=en
to the tex file, you force texexec into using cont-en. Other directives
concern the program (tex,pdftex,..) and the format. Forget about those.
Some day I will use this feature to sort out versions (like, running a 5
year old context format).
