Shorter example showing what goes wrong:

\definealternativestyle[ImportantStyle]
                        [{\definedfont[Kurier-Bold at 24pt]}]

\defineframedtext[important][style=ImportantStyle]

\starttext
\startimportant
   Math $x$ does not scale
\stopimportant
\stoptext

The reason is that you only specified how to scale text. To get the right 
math scaling you have to use \switchtobodyfont. You can go about it in two 
ways

\defineframedtext[important][style={\switchtobodyfont[24pt]\ImportantStyle}]

(which will scale the math font, but not change it to Kurier-Bold).

Or you can define a typescript for kurier-bold (see type-otf for 
examples), and then use

\usetypescript[kurier-bold]

\defineframedtext[important][style={\switchtobodyfont[kurier-bold,24pt]}]
