Remark: u- does not work out of the box, only when called as \usemodule[u][modulename].

I had consulted the Wiki that tells us:
Usage
When you load a module with \usemodule[modulename] ConTeXt looks for a file with the following names:

  *   m-modulaname (core module)
  *   p-modulename (private module)
  *   s-modulename (ConTeXt style file)
  *   x-modulename (XML module)
  *   t-modulename (Third party module)
  *   modulename

Once a file is found ConTeXt stops the search and loads the found file (only once).
When you have two file with the same name but different prefixes you can tell ConTeXt which file it should load with
\usemodule[<prefix>][modulename]

I checked \usemodule[modulename] with all these prefixes and they work ok.
But the last item in the list (marked red for clarity) does not (any more). That item suggest \usemodule[module-name] should work. I suggest someone in charge of the Wiki takes a look and removes the last item when my observations turn out to be correct.

A final question. Using the \usemodule[<prefix>][modulename] form, one can use any prefix letter. In fact, any prefix seems to work. If that functionality stays, it will give more flexibility in the naming scheme for modules. Please confirm if this will be the case or if module naming in the future will be restricted to a one letter scheme or even restricted to [mpsxt] exclusively as mentioned in the Wiki.

My modules are not read anymore, allthough Context thinks it does. This must have been the case for some time. I ran a test with an older version which demonstrates that the change in behaviour must have occurred after january second.
Minimal example follows.

Hans van der Meer

Module code in file module-test is:
\writestatus{HVDM}{Module has been read}
\endinput

Test code in file moduletest.tex is:
\usemodule[module-test]
\starttext
module testing look into the log.
\stoptext

modules have names like

m-
x-
s-
p-
u-

and the lookup happens in a certain order without prefix, and checking for mkvi, mkiv, mkii or tex suffixes

so in your case it should be something

u-hvdm-test

or so (user hvdm test)

so you were just lucky that in the past modules-* worked

the loading is probably ok because test.* is loaded

In the log I find:

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972)
 \write18 enabled.

It says the module is already loaded, but the telltale \writestatus is absent.

Running the same code with an older version of ConTeXt does load the module:

ConTeXt  ver: 2014.01.02 20:05 MKIV current  fmt: 2014.1.2  int: english/english
(/Users/hansm/tex/test-tex/modules/moduletest.tex
resolvers       > modules > 'module-test' is loaded                 <-- loads as it should
(module-test.tex
HVDM            > Module has been read
