I am using an older version of Context, but running texexec on your
example gets me the correct output.
a ÷ b

math-def.mkiv contains
\definemathcommand [div] [limop] {\mfunction{div}}
which overrides the definition of \div from char-def.lua. The same line is
also present in mkii, but gets overwritten by the correct definition due
to different order in which files are loaded.
Hans: \div should be mapped to divided sign, so I suggest that we remove
the corresponding \definemathcommand lines from math-def.mkiv and
math-tex.mkii (see the attached patch).
