This is the key problem, I think: adding an explicit \enableregime before the \startcomponent will likely fix the problem. The issue is that bbl file, which is normally read at \starttext is read at a different point in time for source that uses products/projects.
The bibliography was typeset the product file itself, so I put \enableregime[utf] before the \startproduct. It worked as you predicted. I had made a related experiment: to put \enableregime[utf] at the start of the .bbl file, then to run texexec with --once (to prevent bibtex from remaking the .bbl file). That also worked, but it was intended as a method of debuggin rather than as a usable workaround. However, even with your fix, I'm still partly confused. Why isn't the "---" in the article title treated like a TeX em-dash? In other words, why is the utf regime needed at all? -Sanjoy `Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.' --African Proverb
