Sorry, cut and paste error (I added the comma on line 21).  The
underlying error is still there

I am not Guy Worthington, but I had a (non successful) look at it and
this is my testing file:

==================================================
\setuphead[chapter]
          [alternative=command,
           command=\ContentsHead]

\def\ContentsHead#1#2%
  {\framed [width=\hsize]{\doifelsenothing{#1}{a}{b}}}

\starttext 
\chapter {Berend} 
\stoptext 
==================================================

Error:

! Extra \else.
\dodododosomekop ...section {#1}{#3}{#4}\fi \else 
                                                  \getvalue {\??ko #1\c!tuss...
l.10 \chapter {Berend}





There is even something weired when removing width=\hsize in the
framed macro:

! Undefined control sequence.
\exitloop ->\let \endofloop 
                            \nodoloop 
<argument> ...>\zeropoint \unskip \else \exitloop 
                                                  \fi

Ah, this is beause \ContentsHead gets a truckload of rubish passed (add 
\showargument{#1} and you see what i mean) and this confuses tex when 
testing things (if..else in argument); even if i would solve this, other 
*user) code could mess up things; this is why we have (inside a head):

   \doifmodeelse{*sectionnumber}

or alternatively: \doiftextelse for content testing

(btw, sorry that i didn't yet answer your question about the numbering)

Thanks Patrick for generating the minimal test case.  (Hans I promise
I'll do my own homework from now on.)  

Replacing \doifelsenothing{#1} with \doifmodeelse{*sectionnumber} does
cure the problem.
