LaTeX in ec encoding (that's what fontenc calls T1) takes the \textmu
from the associated 'text companion' font, which is encoded in 'TS1'.

I'd been wrestling with that for a while before I wrote the remark,
but I could not make that work in ConTeXt. Perhaps somebody else
knows. Anyway, I think \textmu (which is probably only used for
denoting 'micro'-units) should preferably be upright in roman text
(and italic in italic text, bold in bold etc) but that is a bit
complicated because it is not available in the ec encoding.
It should be possible to switch the encoding for just a single
command, but I could not figure out how. I tried to do something
like
\def\textmu{{\useecoding[texnansi]\char 181 }}
but that doesn't work.
