texexec adds a \stoptext cq \end to the input line (that specifies the 
main file) so this hides an error; in mkiv i no longer do that ... files 
should be just ok

depends ... i assume you're talking mkiv here? we need to add more 
languages to it (sorting vectors) and of course there can be bugs in the 
code

unrelated to texexec/context ... texexec is just a ruby script that runs 
  tex for you; it's marks being reset that can add a node to the end of 
the document (depends a bit on the style) while luatex has a clearmarks 
primitive that we use and which has no side effects (unfortunately 
clearmarks was never added to etex)
