Most likely the first, however I never really understood how this
magic is configured in ConTeXt.
The relevant files are
tex/context/base/type-siz.mkiv (as well as mkii)
I guess that the contents more or less agree with your observations
(there is no 17pt font defined for big, however there are small fonts
defined for x and xx), but I would have no idea how to fix anything.
