(setq-default window-set-context-function
              (lambda (w)
		(let ((point (window-point w)))
		  (with-current-buffer (window-buffer w)
                    `((front-context-string
                       . ,(buffer-substring-no-properties
                           point (min (+ point 16) (point-max))))
                      (rear-context-string
                       . ,(buffer-substring-no-properties
                           point (max (- point 16) (point-min)))))))))

should suffice to make 'buffer-substring-no-properties' work.  Note that
if you select the window beforehand, 'selected-window' will not return a
meaningful value in the body of the function called.  This is a problem
of many "hooks" like 'mode-line-format' or 'window-configuration-hook'.
The comfort you get comes at the price of a lack of generality.
