Partially replying to myself.

Adding a space at the beginning of io.write, displays the space and the
UTF-8 sequence (given "chcp 65001") right.

This isn’t the perfect solution, but it works for me.

I’d really appreciate to know how to request an extra pass in ConTeXt.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
