I think the context deletion was missed in the first place because
storeRow() is the wrong place to create the context. Rather than
creating the context in storeRow() and deleting it two levels up in
materializeQueryResult(), I think it should be created and deleted in
the interim layer, storeQueryResult(). Patch along those lines attached.

Any objections to me back-patching it this way?
