Are you using the latest version of the font from
http://openfontlibrary.org/media/files/asyropoulos/219
seems the same date as
http://www.ctan.org/get/fonts/Asana-Math/Asana-Math.otf

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.41.0-2009061016
I reported this to Taco so we'll see what he says...

Basic greek should work in math. I cannot get the latest minimals right
now (slow internet connection), but px math and lm math use the same code
to generate virtual fonts, so px math should work in the latest minimals.
Using the predefined
[mm] [math] [palatino]
You can test these formulas in px-math:
\starttext
\startformula
Y=AK^{\alpha{}}L^{1-\alpha{}} \eqno(1)
\stopformula
\startformula
y-l=a+\alpha(k-l) \eqno(2)
\stopformula
\startformula
a = (y-l) - \alpha{} (k-l) \eqno(3)
\stopformula
\startformula
A = (3-7)-(0.3) (5-3) = 3.4
\stopformula
\alpha{}
\stoptext

I see. There is indeed something wrong with both px-math and tx-math, but
I cannot see why it is behaving differently. In math-vfu.lua, if you
replace pxmi.tfm with lmmi10.tfm and regenerate formats, greek in math
works, so it is something specific with the font.
Hans, Taco: Any idea what is happening here? Minimal test file
\usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino]
\starttext $\alpha \beta$ \stoptext
Idris: For greek outside the math mode, you should use \greekalpha etc,
which works with palatino.
