I think that ConTeXt should be feature compatible with amstex; not
necessarily syntax compatible. Although syntax compatibility eases the
translation of old amstex documents to ConTeXt, it is not a good long
term solution.
So, the question remains, is this feature (changing the meaning of
\dotsb etc) by authors? If so, we can add an option to \setupmathematics
or a dedicated \setupdots (or something similar) command.
