\enabletrackers[context*]

shows that we have an unprotected \startformula so we need this in 
strc-mat.mkxl:

\permanent\protected\defcsname\e!start\v!formula\endcsname{\strc_formulas_start_formula{}}
\permanent\protected\defcsname\e!stop 
\v!formula\endcsname{\strc_formulas_stop_formula}

\permanent\tolerant\protected\def\defineformulaalternative[#1]#*[#2]#*[#3]%
   {\frozen\instance\protected\defcsname\e!start#1\v!formula\endcsname{#2}%
    \frozen\instance\protected\defcsname\e!stop #1\v!formula\endcsname{#3}}

(the \protected probably got lost when i added overload protection etc)
