Yes, this sometimes happens. Context stores is transitional data
in \jobname.tuo for 'texexec' (\jobname.tuc for 'context') and
if you use the chart module, I know for a fact that at least the .tuo
tends to lag behind a bit.
The solution is to run 'texexec' (or 'context', but I suspect the
problem is with 'texexec' ) once more without doing any edits.
Best wishes,
Taco
