I really don't want to check a potentially big document for missing images manually and while I could grep the log myself in an additional post processing step, I really want ConTeXt to do raise the error for me, not a potentially broken script written by me.
often in the process of writing a missing (pending ) image is no reason
for an abort

Currently it's not possible. In fact, it would involve more checks then,
like missing references or so. It then would be some special mode and
aborting a run would also mean that the partial pdf should be removed.
So, it's a bit more work than just a few lines. Maybe later this year.
