Thanks to Hans and Aditya! Using the binaries in /context-lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/ instead of ~/context-lmtx/bin/mtxrun brings the awaited result! Remains the question why has it been possible to use the wrong binaries? How could a context user know where the "good" binaries reside? I put the PATH sequence of the official installation process as proposed into my PATH variable and was using "mtxrun". I shall eliminate the error causing context parts in my PATH variable. I'd suggest to correct the proposed completion of PATH variable at the end of the installation process. The knowledge about that has only been possible after a series of mails with Pablo, Hans and Aditya. Thanks again!
