AFAIK, there is only one way to do this: write a new tex file on-
the-fly and run a separate texexec on that file (using \write18),
then parse the resulting log file for the occurence of any errors.
Not simple at all, I'm afraid.

This is a side-effect of TeX being an 8-bit program that doesn't
understand utf-8 itself. utf-8 in ConTeXt works by virtue of the
first character of a sequence having catcode 13 (\active), but
\meaning never outputs any catcodes except 12 (character) and 10
(space). This can be fixed by calling \scantokens:

   \expanded\type{\expandafter\scantokens\expandafter{\Temp}}%
