Thanks for the report. I suspect that the maintainer of TikZ might not
be reading this mailing list (and is certainly not a ConTeXt user
himself).

I'm CC-ing him. The issue tracker is here:
    https://sourceforge.net/p/pgf/bugs/

In the past Hans and Aditya wrote a number of patches for TikZ
(potentially even fixing this particular issues, I'm not sure), but
not all of them were included.

So ... we need some more persistence in making sure that things get
fixed. This list might be the best place to get the patches, but then
you need to make sure that the patches are actually included upstream.
(This reminds me that I probably need to check if TikZ is still
properly synchronized with upstream in our distribution. As far as I
know SF is dropping support for CVS and I need to check how we sync
the sources now.)
