Nevertheless, sometimes this feature canbe handy.

Local and prefixed things have a higher priority anyway. I will implement a more advanced prefix mechanism [nested] some day soon, since in etex the penalty is not that high as in normal tex. Btw, if you say \setuphead[chapter][prefix=+] you get auto prefixing, and when you say \chapter[someref]{...} the someref becomes the prefix, which can safe you some troubles.
