Suppose that there is a file local variable entry for
`LaTeX-paragraph-commands'. LaTeX mode uses after-hook so that its value
is reflected to `paragraph-start'. In addition, AUCTeX style files
casually overwrite `paragraph-start' to support various paragraph
commands; in that procedure, they never care what the user set to
`paragraph-start' in the mode hook and just overwrite. In other words,
AUCTeX doesn't consider `paragraph-start' as a variable which is to be
customized in the mode hook. The users are expected to use other
variables to control `paragraph-start'.

Thanks. Can you try the attached patch? If you customize the new option
`ConTeXt-paragraph-commands', its value will be reflected to
`paragraph-start' (for new buffers created after the customization).
