I did a bit of digging, and here is where it starts to goes wrong right now (tma excerpt):

Never mind that, that was wrong of me and not the problem at all! Sorry!

Retry:

  [983943]={
   ["boundingbox"]=58,
   ["index"]=903,
   ["name"]="music-note",
   ["unicode"]=983943,
   ["width"]=512,
  },
  [983944]={
   ["boundingbox"]=187,
   ["index"]=904,
   ["name"]="music-note-half",
   ["unicode"]=983945,
   ["width"]=512,
  },

“music-note” appears twice in the font encoding, at F0387 and F0388. 
The cheat sheet says that the second of those should be “music-note-eight”,
but it has the wrong name, which is probably why ConTeXt removes it.

The next one is “checkbox-blank-circle-outline”, which is at F0766 and F043D.
The latter should have been named “radiobox-blank” according to the cheat sheet.

Etc.

On my earlier note: I still think it is bad to assign unicode code points
in ’this’ case. A logo that is encoded in the PUA and happens to be named 
“minus” is very unlikely to actually be a mathematical minus.
