It might help to give us a bit more details. To me this sounds as if
the wrong (some old) version of ConTeXt is being used. You already
said that you didn't use --context=current. It might be that you have
installed ConTeXt with Fink and that the old version from Fink is
somehow taking precedence.

Can you please tell us where you installed the minimals and the output of:
$ cat $(kpsewhich context.mkiv) | grep edef.contextversion
$ echo $PATH
$ which luatex
$ which context
$ export | grep TEX
