I don't understand - AFAIK EC is the Cork encoding?  Also, I cannot
reproduce this bug, which might be due to my lack of knowledge of
ConTeXt.

Here, I get 

                output : standard

which might explain why different files are needed.

I have a different ConTeXt version:

ConTeXt  ver: 2005.01.31  fmt: 2005.10.25  int: english  mes: english

What is on your system the output of

kpsewhich context.tex

Maybe you have some files installed in /usr/local/share/texmf, or your
homedirectory?
