You need Context with Luatex as binary to process the document but 
Context uses since a while Luametatex as default binary.


To switch from Luametatex to Luatex add the --luatex to the context 
command, i.e.

	context --luatex luatex.tex


The version of the Luatex manual which is included in the Context 
distribution has processing information at the top of the main file 
(luatex.tex) which makes the flag obsolete.

% language=us engine=luatex runpath=texruns:manuals/luatex
