I guess the proper workaround is to use a Makefile (or any build
system/script of your choice) and have it build/assemble things with
pandoc/context right in your project directory and then remove any junk
automatically, rather than relying on pandoc running context. The learning
curve of make is kind of steep, especially if you use it for things which
differ from the most typical use cases but it pays off and gets less steep
fairly quickly.
