The reason why this does work has nothing to do with the environment 
file, the only
thing which is responsible to get a PDF with output is the 
\setupbodyfont line.


Better examples are

%%%% begin example 1
\CONTEXT\ is great.
%%%% end example 1

and

%%%% begin example 2
\setupbodyfont[modern]

\CONTEXT\ is great.
%%%% begin example 2

where the output of the first example is broken.


To ensure the document exists in a proper manner ConTeXt inserts \stoptext
at the end of the document but there is never a \starttext inserted at 
any point
when you process a regular tex file.

You should also notice a message like

     system          > invalid \starttext ... \stoptext structure

on the terminal.
