Ah, I see. The problem is that the context mods are also used inside context 
definitions, like

a=\with { 
  \description "Some mod" 
  ...
}
\context {\Score 
  \description "context desc"
  \a
}

This is effectively the same as

\context {\Score
  \description "context desc"
  \description "Some mod" 
  ...
}

And the later description takes overwrites the context description.

It's ugly that such a situation occurs, but I guess your approach is the 
easiest, short of renaming them to \contextDescription or so...

Cheers,
Reinhold
