It is not terribly obvious, but your \framed commands are missing a 
second argument, see the big manual, p. 227, where it gives the model:

\startcombination[n*m]
	{text1}{subcaption 1}
	{text2}{subcaption 2}
	....... .............
\stopcombination

and says: "The second argument can be empty: {xxxx}{}." That kind of 
implies that the braces in the second argument are necessary and 
apparently that's what texexec is complaining about...



This works for me:
% ------------------
\starttext

\startcombination[2]
   \framed{here}{}
   \framed{there}{}
\stopcombination

\stoptext
% ------------------

So just add the two pairs of braces after your \framed and things should 
work out!
