I thought it might be a font thing

Great!

Well, I was thinking about that last night. Technically, yes: one is only supposed
to have one per or / in a unit, and any subsequent ones have no effect.

But actually I now think that if an author wants that, there may be reasons, so 
let's leave it as it is. Then you can actually write

\starttext
It is correct that 
\unit{1 metre per second per second} is
\unit{1 metre per second second} and is also
\unit{1 metre per square second}.
\stoptext

Thanks. Not an urgent one for me.

I'm thinking about the numeric formatting capability now ... I will write something
and send to the list for comment.
