The reason is that Hans is currently reworking bits and pieces of ConTeXt in order to prepare for the transition to luaTeX ... and font handling is apparently one of the things undergoing a massive overhaul these days. Unfortunately this appears to have broken compatibility with XeTeX. At the Epen conference Hans told me that he's going to finalize ConTeXt's font interface code for luaTeX first and then eventually backport everything to XeTeX. So for the time being your best bet might be to stick with the January version of ConTeXt included in TeXLive 2007. It's fairly stable and can be used for production purposes although it obviously won't benefit from the latest bug fixes to parts other than fonts. Alternatively, you might as well want to wait for the inaugural release of luaTeX.
