My hint(s) only work in XeTeX and LuaTeX.

With ec encoding you really need to do ugly things. You need to
compose a character by more or less manually lowering the breve accent
and take care for italic correction yourself. Not even accent
primitive can be used for it. And you cannot use the combining accent
after the character or the proper Unicode glyph (though the latter
might be possible by patching some definition in ConTeXt core), you
always need to use a macro.
With XeTeX and LuaTeX all that comes (almost) for free.
