Or a bug in mkii:
enco-utf.tex:
Line 3055 : \def\textellipsis {…} % HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
enco-def.tex:
\definecharacter textellipsis {\mathematics\cdots}
try this:
===============
% engine=luatex
\starttext
text\textellipsis
text\unknown
\stoptext
===============
Another big difference. \textellipsis behaves differently in mkii and mkiv.
Also, the lm ellipsis seems way too packed...
Best wishes
