I find it a bit surprising that ConTeXt gives 'missing } inserted'
with:

\starttext\startformula
\mathop=^{\rm def}
\stopformula\stoptext

(\mathop{=}^... is fine, though).

The above formula is correct in Plain (Lua)TeX (in fact, it is
copied from The TeX Book). Why does ConTeXt need braces?

this is because \mathop is redefined (in th eprocess assuming a braced
argument) ... this is a mkii leftover which is actually no longer needed
(mkii needed more tweaks to get fonts right)

you can add this to cont-new.mkiv

\let\mathop\normalmathop

but i'd use { } anyway

Thanks for the clarification!
