Found a workaround: The idea is to use \csname …\endcsname with two delimiters 
not likely to be used in math mode, below chosen to ‘…’.

But then there seems to be a bug in the LuaTex \letcharcode command: There must 
be a character between “$” and the first occurring \activecatcode letter. 
Possibly this also causes a bug in \startformula, as discussed before.

it's not a bug .. tex looks ahead for a second $ and in the process expands the next token which happens to be a letter at that point so it gets injected as letter (it's the way tex works)

\appendtoks
    \catcode`𝐝\lettercatcode
    \catcode`𝐢\lettercatcode
    \catcode`𝐦\lettercatcode
\to \everymathematics

\definemathcommand[𝐝𝐢𝐦][nolop]{\mfunction{𝐦𝐢𝐝}}

\starttext

Note that $ \𝐝𝐢𝐦 𝑉 = 𝖫$, although $\dim 𝑉 = 4$.

And a bug: $\𝐝𝐢𝐦 𝑉$.

\stoptext

fwiw, the current beta makes math characters also letters now
