I cannot say whether the wrong placement is due to the wrong font

I tried '\triangle T' (often used as the Laplacian operator, instead of
writing it out as \nabla^2). That one comes out fine, even though
\triangledown does not. But they seem to have similar kinds of
defintions/mappings:
From luatex-math.tex :
\def\triangle {\Umathchar "0"0"0025B3 }
\def\triangledown {\Umathchar "2"0"0025BD }
So it must be a wrong font metric?
AFAIU, ConTeXt does not use luatex-math.tex. The mappings are defined in
char-def.lua.
triangle is defined as a mathord (like nabla) while bigtriangleup is a
mathop (like triangledown).
