A PDF generated from the file is exactly what I would expect from an example. The generated epub, however, is useless - all the text is jammed together into one continuous block with no formatting whatsoever.

When you use the export option context creates a xml file from your document. When you call not the epub script context creates epub file which contains this xml file which uses a custom format and not xhtml as you would expect.
To get a epub file which can be used with most reader (a few programs on windows/mac/linux can read contexts output) you have to convert context xml file into valid xhtml.
What you have to do as well in your document to get proper tagged paragraphs is to add \startparagraph and \stopparagraph at the begin and end of each paragraph, otherwise context adds AFAIR <br/> between them.
