Thanks, Hans. I tried
        texexec --make --all
but the regeneration fails as before, with the lines
        (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat
        ! Nonletter.
        \rawcharacter ...r\or   \or
        \or
            \or
        \or     \or
                                                          \or \or \or \or  
\or \...
        l.37 α2Ϊ
                  1
        ?

Does the MacTeX distribution have the same problem?
