I guess it is a bug with pgfplots rather than tikz (which also means that 
it may be easier to pursuade pgfplot maintainers to use low level tikz 
interface, since tikz is already playing nice with context).

\usemodule[tikz,pgfplots]
\definecolor[red][g=1]

\startmode[bug]
\unprotect
\pgfutil@definecolor{red}   {rgb} {0,1,0}
\protect
\stopmode

\starttext
\startTEXpage
      \starttikzpicture
        \startaxis
          \addplot[color=red] coordinates { (0,0) (1,1) };
        \stopaxis
      \stoptikzpicture
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
