If you remove --context=beta you should (at least in theory) get the
"current". At the moment this exceptionally doesn't correspond with
the "current" version on Pragma because what's in current doesn't work
with the latest released luatex beta.

Also, --context=beta exceptionally doesn't correspond to the true beta
from pragma, because the current beta doesn't work with the latest
released luatex beta.

If you want to go back in time with ConTeXt, you can use
--context=yyyy.mm.dd (see
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/).

You can also use --context=alpha or --context=experimental, but we
don't have all the needed binaries set up, so in that case you
probably need to compile luatex yourself (I'll try to fix that once I
get back home).

alpha = alpha from Pragma if one is available, else beta, else current
(if there's no beta)

current: whenever Hans releases a new current
beta: whenever the next luatex beta will be released
alpha, experimental: updated hourly, but don't work out of the box
without using your own luatex

Totally weird. Taco? Hans?
