As of 2021, all major browsers (Safari / Chrome / Firefox) report that context was NOT retained, which matches the current spec: see step 6 of https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-function-calls-runtime-semantics-evaluation. Property references do not qualify as direct eval (previously known as "built-in eval operator").
