My fault. A spurious older version of luatex too early in the search path. Became disastrous only after the luatex version in the betas changed at some point in time.
However in search of the problem I stumbled on a few statements invoking a Lua error that can be avoided by safer coding, thus sparing non-programmers a problem.
The error message is:
/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:1819: attempt to index a nil value (field 'filenames')
originates from:
elseif environment.filenames[1] or getargument("nofile") then
scripts.context.timed(scripts.context.autoctx)
I suggest to change this to (change highlighted)
elseif environment.filenames and environment.filenames[1] or getargument("nofile") then
scripts.context.timed(scripts.context.autoctx)
The same applies to lines 1208, 1795, 1802
In line 1188 I recommend interchanging the operands for a more natural order; here the check is already done.
local list = (name and { name }) or (environment.filenames and environment.filenames[1]) or defaultformats
