Are you using MikTeX by any chance? This is broken exactly in the
version which MikTeX is using (which is the last one uploaded on
CTAN). You can take a recent version of ConTeXt (cont-tmf.zip from
pragma), unzip it, refresh filename database and recreate formats
(either explicitely for cont-en or uncheck the box "exclude this
format when updating" and recreate all formats). (The exact phrases
might be slightly different.)

The problem is that a recent version of ConTeXt requires pdfTeX 1.40
(but the described procedure worked for me in 2.5 and broke the whole
MikTeX in 2.6, although when I tried to reproduce the bug(?) for the
second time, it worked again).

It's up to Taco to decide when to upload a more recent and reasonably
stable version of ConTeXt to CTAN, but now when MikTeX 2.6 with the
latest pdfTeX has officially been released, it would make sense to get
rid of that bug in MikTeX (not necessary without introducing new
ones). The version of ConTeXt on TeX Live (with a fixed "euro bug")
seems stable enough to me, but of course it could be a later version
as well. MikTeX doesn't include XeTeX yet, so the recently broken font
handling wouldn't influence it too much.

(As far as I know, MikTeX is basically the only really important
distribution which fetches ConTeXt from CTAN. Other distributions are
either based on TeXLive or fetch recent files from Pragma.)
