It is bug in the module triggered by the lack of issue information
in some of the article entries. To fix it, best put this in your
preamble for now:

\setuppublicationlayout[article]{%
    \insertartauthors{}{ }{\insertthekey{}{ }{}}%
    \insertpubyear{(}{). }{\unskip.}%
    \insertarttitle{\bgroup }{\egroup. }{}%
    \insertjournal{\bgroup \it}{\egroup}
     {\insertcrossref{In }{}{}}%
    \insertvolume
     {\bgroup \it, }
     {\egroup\insertissue{\/(}{)}{}\insertpages{, }{.}{.}}
     {\insertpages{, pp. }{.}{.}}%
    \insertnote{ }{.}{}%
    \insertcomment{}{.}{}%
}

I will fix this in the next release.

No, that is not possible. I have a lua-based bibliography converter
planned and once that is in place, this will be possible.


Best wishes,
