I think I might completely uninstall my current TeXlive (2011) and install the newest one from CTAN, as you recommend. I also run into problems when I want to run both ConTeXt and plain TeX or LaTeX: I was using TeX on some old files yesterday, and because my path was set up to reference the /opt/context tree before the /usr/share/texmf tree, TeX kept giving errors. So I needed to fiddle with my path first. (One day I'll convert my TeX files to ConTeXt, but that requires more time than I have right now.)
Thanks, everybody!
