Strange. This keeps popping up and I can't find a reason in the source.
Try \cite[authoryears][...] please to see if this makes the proble go away.

Insert a \dousepublications{\jobname} somewhere. Loading the bbl file is 
currently connected to \starttext.

Yes. But there is probably an option to enable it  (It uses the standard
context list mechanism these days). Alternatively, use\placepublications
and invent your own heading.

Try sort=auteur, please. This is one area where I have a conflict with 
the multi-lingual interface, so perhaps the dutch keyword will help.

This is a feature (but with a bug in it). It should have create the text
(Meier et al., 2001, 2001a). To disable the compression, use

\setupcite[authoryears][compress=no]

I'll try to look at the bug.
