If you really want to get the current version working, you can try to
fetch texmfcnf.lua from
http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/texmf/web2c

update cnf file
Most probably the version r846 will do; if not then r789. Fetch the
--context=current and replace your texmfcnf.lua (in tex/texmf/web2c)
with this one. Maybe you will need an older version of luatex (but I
doubt it; I should check the dates though). LuaTeX is available under
http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/bin/tex

Known bugs in ConTeXt on in ConTeXt distribution?
The general recipe for ConTeXt bugs is: if it is present in the latest
version and it has not been mentioned on the mailing list for the last
two days, you should not bother searching in the bug database, just
report it.
Tracker for ConTeXt is here: http://tracker.luatex.org/
Tracker for ConTeXt distribution is on launchpad, but it doesn't list
everything that I want to fix.

It is. You could use the same switch as \hw or \cg (handwriting,
calligraphy) but you could define a new "style" (your own keyword). I
don't know the syntax by heart though, so I let the others help you (I
should be in doing-something-else-than-reading-emails mode until
Friday at least).
