hm, this works here,
\def\xx#1{\type{#1}}
\starttext
\xx {\ifabsnum}
\stoptext
Sure, but that is because your \ifabsnum is an undefined control
sequence, since you are still using 1.30.5 :-)

Here is a bit of equivalent plain TeX code that crashes in the
same fashion:

   \def\xx#1{\type{#1}}
   \starttext
   \xx {\iffalse}
   \stoptext

The simplest solution (for now) is to start pdftex-t.tex with :

   \let\ifabsnum\relax
   \let\ifabsdim\relax
