ah ... the alignment lookahead problem, i think we can safely patch 
\mathematics to catch lookahead as well as make frac more robust for 
unwanted expansion

\usemodule[newmat]

\unexpanded\def\frac#1#2{\mathematics{\genfrac{}{}{}\donothing{#1}{#2}}}

\def\mathematics#1{\relax\ifmmode#1\else$#1$\fi}

\starttext

\placeformula
\startformula
\eqalign{\frac{1}{2}}
\stopformula

\stoptext
