a few typos, run make and have a fully typeset PDF that I can send off

whole thing in an alternative tool simply isn't a viable option.

Have you tried installing TeX Live directly from CTAN (e.g., download
install-tl-unx.tar.gz and perhaps update regularly using tlmgr)? If
there's a problem with the F17 version, it's possible that the actual TeX
Live 2012, updated from CTAN, would solve it. I don't use ConTeXt (and
I'm on F18 now), so I can't say anything about that. But on F17 I used
TeX Live from CTAN, not the Fedora rpms, and everything I use worked
fine. (I haven't had any problems with the one from the rpms on F18 yet
either, but ...)
