Without that, headers were appearing on the first page of the chapter.
I expected there would be a global setup to suppress headers in such
places, but I couldn't find it. Did I miss something?

Aha! That seems to fix the problem. But could you explain (if the reason
is understandable to someone not very familiar with ConTeXt internals)?
If the chapter and title headings are coupled, that implies (doesn't
it?) that they will appear or not appear in pairs everywhere. Yet in my
document, the title stopped appearing on one page and failed to reappear
for the rest of the book, whereas the chapter headings continued.

I may not absolutely need to know this, but it will help me understand
ConTeXt a little better.

Thanks for the response.
