if the mappings are different, and this is the result:

adobegaramondpro => Adobe Garamond Pro Bold => AGaramondPro-Bold.otf
adobegaramondprobold => Adobe Garamond Pro Bold => AGaramondPro-Bold.otf
adobegaramondprobolditalic => Adobe Garamond Pro Bold Italic =>
AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf
adobegaramondproitalic => Adobe Garamond Pro Italic =>
AGaramondPro-Italic.otf
adobegaramondproregular => Adobe Garamond Pro Regular =>
AGaramondPro-Regular.otf
adobegaramondprosemibold => Adobe Garamond Pro Semibold =>
AGaramondPro-Semibold.otf
adobegaramondprosemibolditalic => Adobe Garamond Pro Semibold Italic =>
AGaramondPro-SemiboldItalic.otf
agaramondprobold => AGaramondPro-Bold => AGaramondPro-Bold.otf
agaramondprobolditalic => AGaramondPro-BoldItalic =>
AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf
agaramondproitalic => AGaramondPro-Italic => AGaramondPro-Italic.otf
agaramondproregular => AGaramondPro-Regular => AGaramondPro-Regular.otf
agaramondprosemibold => AGaramondPro-Semibold => AGaramondPro-Semibold.otf
agaramondprosemibolditalic => AGaramondPro-SemiboldItalic =>
AGaramondPro-SemiboldItalic.otf

In other words, the mappings seem to be fine here (though I'm not sure about
the first one). Thus, it seems that some change in ConTeXt has "broken" the
font.
