The command line syntax has changed in version 1. See this:

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/1.0#Command_Line

So it's --export-filename in Inkscape 1.00, and --export-pdf in previous 
versions.

I tried to specify both options with Inkscape 0.92 hoping the wrong one 
would be ignored, without success; you get only a warning, not an error, 
but the conversion fails anyway.

To make ConTeXt work with both versions, it should run "inkscape 
--version" before doing the actual conversion, to decide the right option.

If the conversion you need is done by

tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/graphics/inkscape.rb

you should edit that file and replace "--export-pdf" with 
"--export-filename".

There are two other files where that option is used:

tex/texmf-context/tex/generic/context/luatex/luatex-fonts-merged.lua
tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-ocl.lua

it's font-related code; if you need it, do the same replacement of 
"--export-pdf" in those two files and then remake the format with

context --make

and the export to pdf will work with Inkscape 1.00.
But it won't work with Inkscape 0.92.
