In inline math, \to works fine (produces a right arrow), but in a figure caption all hell breaks loose.
The culprit may be this redefinition of \to in enco-ini.tex:
$ find texmf -name '*.tex' |xargs egrep -n '\\((e|g|)def|let)\\to\b' texmf/tex/context/base/core-pos.tex:642: %\edef\to {\POSprefix#1}% texmf/tex/context/base/enco-ini.tex:1565: {\appendtoks\let\to\everylowercase texmf/tex/context/base/enco-ini.tex:1570: {\appendtoks\let\to\everyuppercase

This test file:
\starttext \placefigure[abc]{ABC $n\to1$.}{} \input tufte \stoptext
produces lots of errors beginning with [snip]
Replacing $...$ with \mathematics{...} works without errors. Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008
