It also seems to work with MacTeX 2008 with (slightly) newer ConTeXt and mkii.

(ConTeXt  ver: 2008.07.31 16:30 MKII  fmt: 2008.8.4  int: english/english)

Maybe it was just a bug in TL version of ConTeXt. (There are some
notes about updating on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV,
but there are some mkiv-related problems with updating that are
currently being resolved. So you would also need to update luatools
and mtxrun binaries manually.)
