The above issue being solved, I guess there is something else in my setup not being as it should be.
Because the code:

\starttext
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
{\sc abc}
\stoptext

Does give me abc in smallcaps, but placing the \setupbodyfont before the \starttext surprisingly does not.

\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
\starttext
{\sc abc}
\stoptext

Changing the lucidaot call for cambria or lmodern gives the expected coorect behaviour.
So I guess there is something amiss with how I did setup the lucida font in my system.
I bought the lucida opentype font and installed my TeX trees as follows. The split between the ConTeXt directory and the one for my local files facilitates downloading new beta versions.

~home\TeX\texmf\
fonts
opentype
bh
lucidaot
LucidaBlackletterOT.otf .. LucidaSansTypewriterOT.otf
tex
context
user (my own modules)

~home\Applications\TeX-programs\
context
tex
link to the above texmf
further as downloaded from the beta

Strange thing furthermore is that changing the name of the lucidaot-directory in the texmf-tree does not seem to make any difference, not in any case when I execute "mtxrun --script font --reload --force" and afterwards "mtxrun --script context --make".

So I guess there are some things I did not right. Can that be spotted from the information given here?
The typescript for Lucida Bright OT doesn’t set a font (or applies the smallcaps feature) to the \sc font switch.

To get small capitals you can now activate the "smcp" or "c2sc" features or you create your own typeface (the \definefontfamily command always sets a font for the \sc switch).

\definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][rm][Lucida Bright OT]
\definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][ss][Lucida Sans OT]
\definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][tt][Lucida Sans Typewriter OT]
\definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][mm][Lucida Bright Math OT]

\setupbodyfont[lucidaopentype]

\starttext

{\rm\tf Upright, \it Italic, \bf Bold, \bi BoldItalic and \sc SmallCaps}

{\ss\tf Upright, \it Italic, \bf Bold, \bi BoldItalic and \sc SmallCaps}

{\tt\tf Upright, \it Italic, \bf Bold, \bi BoldItalic and \sc SmallCaps}

\stoptext
