Hello,
I just updated my version of ConTeXt and the bug is still present.
Can you confirm ?
Thank you.

There was a bug with the \date macro which I had reported a few days
    ago.
    This appears to be related to that. Should be fixed in the next beta.
I have a chicken-egg issue to solve (probebly in the end have to drop 
something for consistency deep down)

can you use for now:

     \date[d=21,m=2,y=2219] [month,{ },D,{, },year]
     \date[d=22,m=12,y=2119][month,{ },D,{, },year]
