Apart from the problem that you have with Demibold:

I guess that bold math is still a weak point of ConTeXt (I might be
wrong, but last time when I was asking about bold math with iwona, I
got some answers/workarounds, but not really the definite answer how
to solve the problem - the best solution was to use own switch for
bold and cheat by switching to text mode, change typeface there and
switch to math mode again, with some care to properly handle
displaystyle, textstyle, scriptstyle, ...).

Bold math somehow works with CM, but when another font is used, it's a
pure confusion (or at least I can't handle the situation).

Adam wrote some patch at that time which never got into the core. As
far as I remember some bold math worked better, but \rm, \bi, ...
switches failed.
