This is on W10P x64. I noticed a few update cycles ago that LuaTeX
had reverted in the latest builds to 1.07.0 from 1.08.0. This is the
first time I have gone back to btx stuff since then. Could it be
related?

Nothing puzzling - these "duplicates" are contained in the .bib example
as a robustness test.

You are using Windows, which indeed has luatex 1.08 (which includes
lua 5.3). The rest of the world has 1.07 (and lua 5.2) while we await
TeXlive freeze.

However, I just tested using a freshly compiled luatex binary (still
1.07) and a freshly, freshly downloaded context, and reproduce empty
references and an empty bibliography (see attached). So, something is
indeed *broken*, and very recently (for I had updated my Standalone just
yesterday, I believe, which worked). Hans, please note.

Thank you, Alan, for the confirmation. I guess we will have to wait for a new beta or revert.

BTW, Windows beta is back to 1.07.0. It had 1.08.0 for a while. The reversion happened sometime last week, I think.
