In case this helps anyone else:

In my case, the LuaTeX error resulted from what appears to be a corrupt font cache. I was getting the error: 

> !LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading ()
> ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
 
The solution was to clean the LuaTeX font cache in my ConTeXt standalone directory. Mine was in:
` ~/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/<...>/fonts/otf/ `

(The <…> represents a long string of numbers.)

I deleted the .tma and .tmc files in that OTF directory. Upon running ConTeXt again, everything worked fine.
