This is ok. Subjects, being the unnumbered alternatives, are not written
to the utility file. COmpare the *.tuo files (two runs needed, but  this
is handled by texexec) of 

\starttext
\subject{test}
\stoptext

and 

\definehead[subject][section]
\setuphead[subject][number=no]
\starttext 
\subject{test}
\stoptext

Now you can also say: 

\definehead[subject][section]
\setuphead[subject][number=no]
\starttext
\placelist[subject] % or [chapter,subject,...]
\subject{test}
\stoptext

or 

\starttext
\definehead[subject][section]
\setuphead[subject][number=no]
\definecombinedlist[content][subject]
\placecombinedlist[content]
\subject{test}
\stoptext

If a list turns up, also depends on the settings of criterium or level.
When you say 

\chapter {something}
\placelist[subject][criterium=chapter]

you will get the subjects per chapter. 

By default, combinedlists will generate lists for the current level,
while an index is generated at the document level, but one can influence
this (indexes per chapter or section or ... and so on).
