Ok, I finally found the reason why it didn't work here: there
was a

\setuppublications[distance=20pt,sort=author]

after the \setuppublications[numbercommand=\bracketed], and it
nihiled the effect of the previous setuppublications. Changing
the order fixed that. Isn't this a bug, though? Why is
numbercommand being reset?

I had no idea it was this complex, ok :)
