`\dotsb` is not defined although it is defined in AMSTeX (amsmath) [1].
Why don’t you use \cdots, i can see no difference between your linked example and mine below.
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\starttext
\formula{A_1+\cdots+A_N}\par
\formula{A_1+⋯+A_N}
\stoptext
That is correct.

I think the AMS introduced `\dotsb` to separate the content and the
markup, since some publishers use the lower dots »…« and not the
centered ones »⋯« between operators. So `\dotsb` could just be
redefined.

Additionally amsmath defines it and to be compatible ConTeXt could
define it too.

Aditya more or less wrote the same in here response.

Thanks,
