Moreover equation number (4) does not show up at all (that number should be placed a little bit below line 9 of the grid).

I think that we need to create a test suite for math alignment. The
sources for my old article on math alignment could be the initial source
of examples.

Unfortunately, these days I mostly use ConTeXt for presentations only (and
use LaTeX for articles). So, my own documents no longer serve as a test
suite for the math features.
