Fair enough.  Consider the following MWE:

\starttext

$\hbox{gt}_{gt} {gt}_{gt}$

\stoptext

Attached are two versions, one typeset with “texexec --xtx test.tex”,
the other with “context test.tex” (should be obvious from the file
name).  In the LuaTeX version the subscript drop is considerably larger
than in the XeTeX version.
