In lang-imp-indic.lua we find a definition of the transliteration of "ṁ" from IAST transcription into Nagari ("deva"):

 ["ṁ"] = "ं"

There is nothing wrong with this, since the ṁ is in use, but the standard transcription (acc. to
 IAST), also in wide use, is "ṃ".

 I suggest adding ["ṃ"] = "ं" to make the mechanism useful to both camps.

Best,
Jürgen

PS: I have to typeset a longer Sanskrit text, determined to do it in ConTeXt for the first time (after using all
kinds of TeXs since the 90s), so I might be back.
