well, it depends ... how many use lm for documents?

Don't know, but I am pretty sure that layers are used all over the
place. In most of my documents, I set the layers in an evironment file,
which is often loaded before \starttext.

as Wolfgang mentioned, setting a layer will use the current font which
might not be the same as one sets later;

Oh, that is a bigger problem. That means that the first thing in a style
should be font loading... if nothing else then just \setupbodyfont[11pt].

Perhaps \setlayer (or even \hbox!!) should issue a warning if the fonts
have not been loaded yet.

How about:

\unprotect

\def\dozerostagepreloadfonts
  {\definedfont[\s!file:lmmono10-regular sa 1]}

\def\zerostagepreloadfonts
{\writestatus\m!fonts{beware: no fonts are loaded yet so content will not show up}%
   \glet\zerostagepreloadfonts\dozerostagepreloadfonts
   \zerostagepreloadfonts}

\everyhbox{\zerostagepreloadfonts}
\everyvbox{\zerostagepreloadfonts}

\def\resetpreloadfonts
  {\global\let\zerostagepreloadfonts  \relax
   \global\let\firststagepreloadfonts \relax
   \global\let\secondstagepreloadfonts\relax
   \global\let\thirdstagepreloadfonts \relax
   \global\let\fourthstagepreloadfonts\relax
   \global\everyhbox\emptytoks
   \global\everyvbox\emptytoks
   \resetnullfont}

\protect

\setbox0\hbox{xxx}


\starttext

    test \box0

\stoptext
