You can't use \pdfminorversion in XeTeX, that's a pdfTeX-specific  
command. I think you need to pass the -V command-line option to  
xdvipdfmx (I expect this can be done somewhere in the ConTeXt  
scripts, but don't know any details), or else set it in the  
dvipdfmx.cfg configuration file. AFAIK, the usual default is 4, but  
you can set it higher if you need to embed other PDFs that use a  
higher version.
