The minimals (or Standalone distribution) contain more than just that repository. Among other things it provides the binaries, an update mechanism, fonts, third-party modules and MetaPost modules. Check your context directory, the repo provides the contents of texmf-context. Sure, you can take a current Standalone distribution and replace the shipped texmf-context with the git repo (which is very handy for testing and bisecting BTW) but it's not usable for production and will break after a while. If the other files (especially LuaTeX and 3rd party modules) get out of sync you'll run into errors no one else can reproduce.

No clue when you updated ..
1. Manually backport the fix to my ConTeXt. Pro: ideal solution (at
least for now). Con: no idea how to do it - I don't know how to
access ConTeXt repository (if it's at all possible for a non-developer).
You could try to backport but be warned that the arrow macros have been
changed because of more possibilities in the open type fonts (so there
is a relationship with fonts too).
2. Upgrade and insert some manual pagebreaks so that pages 21-22 (which
I'm currently working on) contain the same problems as they used to.
Pro: easy fix. Con: very dirty trick, and what if someone asks me
about some old problems, because he lost his copy?
Why don't you use version numbers and store pdf files? After all, it's
quite normal that educational materials get updated. Also, use
references to numbers instead of pages.
The recent reimplementation of arrows was stand-alone and the old
math-arr.mkiv code is still there so you can try to load that file.
3. Just use \vec instead of \overrightarrow. Pro: very easy, no dirty
hacks. Con: ugly looking (see: \vec{AB}).
Any ideas? Is it possible to find the official ConTeXt repo somewhere,
or if not, maybe someone could send me the diff of the commit which
fixed that (this post:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/79011 suggests that it
is the 2012.10.30 21:13 commit)?
I don't know if Mojca still keeps old betas and checks them in in her
public git repos.

Hi all,
I have an issue with \overrightarrow being positioned under its
argument. I've read on the list that this is now fixed, but... I
can't upgrade! This is because I'm preparing a document in an

sets) for the next class each week and giving them away to students.
