Works.

No change, still \bibstlye{cont-no} in the aux file...

I suspected such a feature, which is of course desirable. Unfortunately, i 
can't disable it, \setupcite[authoryears][compress=no] has no effect, 
neither has \setupcite[][compress=no]. I have looked at input and output 
again, and it is (Meier et al., 2001a) instead of (Meier et al., 2001a, 
2001b), what means that the second publication is omitted, not the first 
one, if this helps you.
Good luck in bug-tracing and thanks again.
