It depends a bit on what luatex version you're running .. there can be 
errors in the source, in some macro (defined elsewhere), in lua code ... 
and context tries as good as it can to print the right code .. in this 
case the error is triggered deep down (foo is an undefined blank option 
and so a dimen is expected).
