Wolfgang,
Can you explain to us why it should be preferable for ConTeXt users to employ \frac12 rather than the native TeX construction {1\over 2}? I understand that the macro \frac does some additional trickery but the two constructions should *always* yield identical results (when keyed-in properly).
Of course, Donald Knuth disagrees with \frac from the point of view of the aesthetics of the syntax.

However the command {1 \over 2} gives the correct result.
It's a spurious "??mathstylecache" in math-ini.mkiv and I sent a fix to the dev-list.
