My fault: I placed it after the \protect. Now *this* works.

But the \FirstNCharacters thing causes (in the second texexec run):

----------------------

My setup:

\setupheadertexts	[][\limitatetext{\GetFirstOnPage{MNam}}{5mm}{}--%
			\limitatetext{\GetLastOnPage{MNam}}{5mm}{}]

%\setupheadertexts	[][{\FirstNCharacters{3}{\GetFirstOnPage{MNam}}--%
%			\FirstNCharacters{3}{\GetLastOnPage{MNam}}}]

\def\Name#1{\bf #1\RegisterPageMark{MNam}{\FirstNCharacters{3}{#1}}}

I tried to put the command in the headertext definition or in the Name 
definition with same result.
First I had your code in my environment, then put it in supp-fun.tex as you 
wrote and remade the formats. The same.
