I think I've found the source of your problem: teTeX's context files
are in the tree beneath /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/. These should
not be there, because they take precendence over the files in
texmf-local. So, you end up with a mixed installation (old macros,
new patterns), and that is the cause of the error you got.

If you followed the QuickInstall instructions, the teTeX version of
context should have ended up below /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist.
Did you perhaps make a mistake there, or did you follow another
installation instruction ?

Cheers, Taco
