It sounds like you'd be able to get around your problem by using a  
different character for the "hyphenation hyphen" than the ascii one.  
I don't really know this stuff, but marking up your text with the  
unicode char "2010 (‐) would seem to fix the conundrum above.

\lccode"2010="2010

etc.
I don't think it's relevant, but you can also change the hyphenchar  
in the font (I don't know how in ConTeXt) you're using which may (but  
I doubt) allow you to using an ascii hyphen in your text.

Cheers,
Will
