Working on this with Hans ... to be continued

Another one for Hans, I think. Here is the code:

\def\setupbibtex{\dosingleempty\dosetupbibtex}

\def\dosetupbibtex[#1]%
   {\def\@@pbdatabase{}%
    \getparameters[\??pb][#1]
    \processaction[\@@pbsort]%
         [\v!nee=>\def\bibstyle{cont-no},
       \c!author=>\def\bibstyle{cont-au},
        \v!title=>\def\bibstyle{cont-ti},
        \v!short=>\def\bibstyle{cont-ab},
      \s!unknown=>\def\bibstyle{cont-no}]%
    \ifx\@@pbdatabase\empty\else \writeauxfile \fi
    }

% and also have this redef. elsewhere:

\startconstants dutch english
....

       author: author author
\stopconstants

What is wrong with that code?

Changing the line in bibl-apa.tex that sets \c!compress=\v!ja into 
\v!nee. should do the trick. This is another bug.

The problem is probably related to the a,b suffixes.
