This gives me upright Greek, but I was expecting italic:
\setupbodyfont[xits]
\starttext
$\mathit{ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ}$
$\mathbi{ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ}$
\stoptext
What happens if you key in the actual unicode values (sorry no
ConTeXt right now)?
I get the correct style as typed.
Then this is a bug in the mappings (and I assume that Cambria also does
not work). I will test later.
Currently, \mathit does not set the attributes for greek. The italic
attributes for greek are set by \mathgreekitalic and \mathgreekupright (but
see below).
\mathit can also set \mathgreekitalic. But I am not sure if it should.

However, there is a bug in \mathgreekupright and \mathgreekialic: they set
the wrong numerical values for attributes. The correct definitions are:

\unexpanded\def\mathgreekupright{\attribute\mathgreekattribute22 }
\unexpanded\def\mathgreekitalic {\attribute\mathgreekattribute33 }

and then you can use  \mathgreekitalic  and \mathgreekitalic\bf instead of
\mathit and \mathbi.

@Hans, can you correct these definitions in math-ini.mkiv.

BTW, I did not know that you could use \setupbodyfont without the
\usetypescript line.
