I checked the type-imp-* file. Unicode-math from latex had no issues on
two different systems one running a full TeXLive and the other on e
customized on-demand package installatino

but that part you said in the beginning:

> Normally context will fall bakc on latin modern but when you explicitly load

\starttypescript [minionserif]
  \definetypeface [minionserif]    [rm] [serif] [minionserif]   [default]
  \definetypeface [minionserif]    [ss] [sans] 	[minionsans]    [default]
%  \definetypeface [minionsans]    [mm] [math] 	[minionserif]   [default]
