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).
