I'd naively expect \track#1 to behave identically regardless of

Sorry, I had forgotten to answer your main-question:

\def\foottrack#1{\expanded{\footnote{\ctxlua{track.simple("#1")}}}}
Thanks very much, this does it!

and, if possible, how do I interaction-proof macros in general?

I don't know, but I suppose \expanded{} can help in most cases.

Adding that one to my “try first”-list seems reasonable. There's a macro
\expanded defined in syst-aux.mkiv but it mentions certain “recent TeXs”
that have it builtin as a primitive -- which one am I using in mkiv?
The LuaTeXbook mentions an extra primitive “\expanded” taken from
pdfTeX. Are they equivalent?

no, we had \expanded (and \protected and \unexpanded and ...) long before they showed up as primitives

when \expanded was added, it was agreed that that name could be used even if it clashed with context internals; ok, it add confusion for users who use low level code, but as we always have \normalexpanded in context it's no big deal; when in doubt, use \normal* for primitives (or \primitive\expanded)
