[NTG-context] BibTeX choking on comments in database

Hello list,

I am using BibTeX under ConTeXt to typeset a publication. I noticed
while building the publication ConTeXt raises the following non-fatal
warning:

   ...
   This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2023/Debian)
   The top-level auxiliary file: Secret_Sauce.aux
   The style file: cont-au.bst
   Database file #1: ./References.bib
   I was expecting a `{' or a `('---line 2 of file ./References.bib
    : 
    : % See the file Copying for details on copying conditions.
   (Error may have been on previous line)
   I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry
   (There was 1 error message)
   publications    > loading formatting style from 'bibl-apa'
   open source     > level 4, order 13, name
   '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/bib/mkii/bibl-apa.tex'
   close source    > level 4, order 13, name
   '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/bib/mkii/bibl-apa.tex'
   ...

All that's present on the first few lines of the References.bib BibTeX
database are comments that begin with the '%' character.

Is there a different character that should be used for BibTeX databases
when used with ConTeXt?
