Hi Bill,
Using a PDF as a basis for creating an Epub ebook is actually a lost cause.
EPUB is a container format that just wraps around your PDF. I do not know of any
ereader that can actually adjust the formatting/layout of a pdf in any significantly
useful way. You are stuck with the formatting in the PDF.
For a EPUB-ebook to adjust properly you need to use HTML5 and CSS. Producing PDF an sticking it into a
EPUB or MOBI wrapper just does not make sense.

You are totally misreading what I wrote!
Sorry. But, from your original statement:
I have followed the steps on the wiki to the letter, using the export-example file provided with the standalone distribution. A PDF generated from the file is exactly what I would expect from an example. The generated epub, however, is useless - all the text is jammed together into one continuous block with no formatting whatsoever.
I assumed that the PDF was be put in the EPub- wrapper! According to the EPub standard this can be done!
I have to admit that I have not been following the progress done in ConTeXt for creating EPubs/eBooks.
Others have answered, and explain what you need to do to get a possibly working EPub.
See my comments in my replies to their posts.
