But shouldn't TeXGyrePagellaMath qualify?

Thanks, Hans.  That is very useful.  

I also recompiled my textbook draft using the latest beta (2014.05.17),
and it works very well.  I tried the topdistance and bottomdistance and
they are mostly working.  To my eye, with topdistance=6pt, the {1\over2}
looks very good again.

However, the settings don't seem to affect fractions inside square
roots.  Here's an example (the 20pt setting is to exaggerate the
possible effect), using 2014.05.17 beta.

\starttext
\placeformula\startformula
\dfrac{ag}{bcd}\quad{ag\over bcd}
\stopformula
\placeformula\startformula
\sqrt{1\over \dfrac{a}{bcd}}
\quad
\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{a}{bcd}}}
\stopformula

\setupmathfractions [topdistance=20pt]

\placeformula\startformula
\dfrac{ag}{bcd}\quad{ag\over bcd}
\stopformula
\placeformula\startformula
\sqrt{1\over \dfrac{a}{bcd}}
\quad
\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{a}{bcd}}}
\stopformula

\stoptext
