It has been documented (probably as  BUG); the problem is that

  { \override Foo ... }

is a music expression. You can't put music expressions in \context { 
\Voice .. } right now.

One could extend \context redefinitions to override this, by extracting 
all \set , \override etc. commands from the music expression, and apply 
that to \context. Alternatively, one could create a new syntax

  contextMods =  \contextmod {
     \override ..
     \consists ..
  }

and then define slurUp as a \contextmod

Both options would require some hacking at parser.yy.
