it all depends on the usage ... 

- most commands use \readfile, or \readjobfile or alike 
- when loading modules of system files , we revert to tex catcode regimes etc 

user files ... well, here tex (context) does not know what is dealt with; take xml, in that case we want to stay in xml mode; or verbatim, which needs to set up verbatim 

actually this is all arranged already (and always has been) 

your problem with the pdfr-enc file results from the fact that loading that file comes at a nasty moment and afaik loading now happens under the right regime; so, if there's a problem we need to find out what's the problem with that file, since it's unrelated to \input (loading that  vector is managed so to say)
