\item doesn't work with ConTeXt (works with LuaTeX/TeX)

Hi,
I have a strange error with ConTeXt. This error isn't produced using
LuaTeX. The error seems to be in one of the CoTeXt files but I can't
understand it. I hope some of you will be able to help me there.
The code is as simple as that:
===== test.tex =====
1 \begingroup
2 \item{1} test 1
3 \item{2} test 2
4 \endgroup
5
6 \end
7
====================
Now, if I run 'context test', I get at some point the following error:
! Missing } inserted.
<inserted text>
}
<to be read again>
\endgroup
\stopitemgroup ...mdepth }\egroup \else \endgroup
\global \advance \itemdept...
l.5
?
Attached, the complete log.
I hope you'll be able to understand that strange error.
Thanks.
Mildred

1. Why don't you use the itemize environment? 2. End the paragraph before the end of the group. \item 2 test 2 \par \endgroup or \item 2 test 2 \endgroup Wolfgang

1 \begingroup 2 \item{1} test 1 3 \item{2} test 2 4 \endgroup
in this case \item grabs a paragraph and therefore the whole bunch till after the \endgroup
1 \begingroup 2 \item test 1 \par 3 \item test 2 \par 4 \endgroup
or
1 \startitemize[n,packed] 2 \item test 1 3 \item test 2 4 \stopitemize
