Hi Hans,
Here is an example:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\mainlanguage[en]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Verdana]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\contextversion
\showgrid
\starttext
\input knuth
\medskip
\input tufte
\stoptext
The wrong hyphenation happens also with the default font.
%\startexceptions[en]
%    would syn-the-size enu-mer-ate
%\stopexceptions
\starttext \hsize=1mm
would synthesize enumerate
\stoptext
just wondering, as on my machine and luigi's things run ok .. can this 
be a osx binary issue?
Hans
My apologies for not answering this particular question, other than by saying that indeed I work on a Mac, two in fact, one with  OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks, the other on OS X 10.11.5 El Capitan.
No difference in this respect: they produce the same hyphenation errors in an English text.

To complicate (perhaps) matters a bit: I did some tests with German, French and Italian texts. Compilation with different mkiv - versions produced no differences and no hyphenation errors.
So far I found hyhpenation errors only in English texts compiled with recent mkiv's  on a Mac.

I hope this helps to find a remedy.

Best regards,
