Bug#1055233: Several math features break in new version

Hello.

Upon upgrading to ConTeXt 2023.05.05.20230730+dfsg-2, several math
features seem to break for me. Here is an example:

\starttext
Hello world!
\startformula
 X(f) = \startcases[align={right,left},distance=3pt]
   \NC T, \NC{} $|f| < \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR
   \NC 0, \NC{} $|f| \geq \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR
 \stopcases
\stopformula
\stoptext

The above works very well in 2021.03.05.20230120+dfsg-1+deb12u1 but
gives me this error in 2023.05.05.20230730+dfsg-2:

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out.
Proceed, with fingers crossed.

Please let me know what I can do to help. I am downgrading temporarily though.

Thanks.
