Never mind, such things happen. And its good to see I am still able
to trace my way down a TeX-problem (although it took a good part of
the morning, bit rusty I guess).
But I willwait for the patch to come out in the regular ConTeXt
distribution; there was a time I was eager to grab betas, but for
this moment production stability has higher priority.

Yes, I guess it is a lot harder. That's why I commented somewhat
cautiously. But it would be nice if it can be done. I am a bit of a
perfectionist!
