it's one of the three border cases (/ is another one) ... unfortunately
the remapping gets overwritten later on (side effect of multiple
classes) so i did a fix ... hopefully it doesn't break something
Now we need to figure out why xits looks crappy with the slash
\setupbodyfont[xits]
\starttext
$a*b$ $a\ast b$
$a/b$ $a\slash b$
\stoptext
