I suppose that the behaviour in mkii comes from these lines:
\definemathcharacter [] [nothing] [sy] [68] [ex] [0A]
\definemathcharacter [] [nothing] [sy] [69] [ex] [0B]
I guess mkii is imitating plain tex here. (Though, I could not find how this
is happening in plain tex)
But I'm not sure where mkiv could be changed.
I don't know how to do this. should behave like a rel without a \left, and
like a delimited with \left.
I have tried to use
adobename=greater,
...
mathspec={
{ class=binary, name=gt },
{ class=close, name=rbrace },
},
but without any success.
rbrace!!. Probabably you want rangle. You can change the order of the two,
and then will map to rangle, but you will have to use \gt to get the
relation symbol.

The attached patch gives a working solution for lmmath but does not work
with cambria. I don't know if the latter is a fault of context mkiv or
luatex.
In any case, this is a kludge as we have to define a dummy name. It will
be better if we could just say name=false. Currently, if I use name=false,
\left gives an error.
