Very strange behaviour of itemize, \quotation and \dots

Hi Hans, Last week I sent you a PDF showing a strange behaviour of \startitemize and \quotation in LMTX. I finally could nail down the origin of the problem: it seems that if the command \setupsynctex[state=start] is present twice at the beginning of the document, then the combination \item and \quotation and \dots prevents the item to be shown correctly… (In my case I was typesetting a document with the above command in which a file containing it also was \input). Below is the minimal example and its PDF. Best regards: OK % begin file: bug-itemize-lmtx.tex \setupsynctex[stat=start] \setupsynctex[state=start] % if this is removed then everything is fine… \setupquotation[style=italic,left={«~},right={~»}] \showframe \starttext \startitemize[n] \dorecurse{4}{\item This item \quotation{is shown correcly\dots} \item This item \quotation{\dots is not shown correctly}} \stopitemize \stoptext % end file: bug-itemize-lmtx.tex

\setupsynctex[stat=start]
\setupsynctex[state=start] % if this is removed then everything is fine…
\setupquotation[style=italic,left={«~},right={~»}]
\showframe \starttext
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{4}{\item This item \quotation{is shown correcly\dots}
\item This item \quotation{\dots is not shown correctly}}
\stopitemize
\stoptext % end file: bug-itemize-lmtx.tex took me a while to figure out that it is actually an engine issue (obscured in luatex but exposed in luametatex)

Below is the minimal example and its PDF. you can check the (lmtx) beta (new luametatex bin etc)
