I sometimes define lua functions for showing out worked out calculations. The 
following minimal example shows that

   context([[\startformula ... \stopformula]])

fails in LMTX with an error message:

tex error       > tex error on line 3 in file ./test.tex: Undefined control 
sequence \undefined

MWE:

\startluacode
   thirddata = thirddata or {}

   local comment = [[
     This is a famous formula
     \startformula
       a^2 + b^2 = c^2
     \stopformula
   ]]

   function thirddata.explanation()
       context(comment)
   end

\stopluacode

\starttext
\ctxlua{thirddata.explanation()}
\stoptext

The actual use case is more complicated (where I use templates, so I don't want 
to convert everything to context.startformula() etc.). The example compiles 
with MkIV but not LMTX.

Any idea what is going on?
\enabletrackers[context*]

shows that we have an unprotected \startformula so we need this in strc-mat.mkxl:

\permanent\protected\defcsname\e!start\v!formula\endcsname{\strc_formulas_start_formula{}}
\permanent\protected\defcsname\e!stop \v!formula\endcsname{\strc_formulas_stop_formula}

\permanent\tolerant\protected\def\defineformulaalternative[#1]#*[#2]#*[#3]%
  {\frozen\instance\protected\defcsname\e!start#1\v!formula\endcsname{#2}%
   \frozen\instance\protected\defcsname\e!stop #1\v!formula\endcsname{#3}}

(the \protected probably got lost when i added overload protection etc)
