With

    \definehead[chapter][section]

you set the structurelevel of \section to that of \chapter,
essentially creating a synonym with a slightly different style.
This is guaranteed to mess up your lists (e.g. toc). To verify
that, execute this snippet:

    \definehead[chapter][section]
    \starttext
    \chapter{foo} \section{bar} \chapter{baz}
    \stoptext

Observe that \section and \chapter now share a counter.

Btw. to avoid confusion better create your own set of macros
(\definehead[myexperimentalsection][section]) instead of
overriding pre-defined functionality.
