I'll look into fractions later this week. All the fraction macros of ConTeXt 
were based on \genfrac macro from AMSTeX so, in principle, they should behave 
in the same manner.

The \frac command uses \vcenter for the content while \dfrac and \tfrac only set the mathstyle before placing the content with the \over primitive.

Then something has been lost in the MkII -> MkIV transition. I am pretty sure (cannot check right now), that the code in MkII used \genfrac (which is a fancy wrapper around \over \ovewithdelim etc)
