not a bug ... just not implemented (as it's pretty complex to do that 
case efficiently at the tex end)

anyhow, as it seems to be needed, i redid the code and now we have:

\starttext

\starttexdefinition unexpanded test #1
     [here #1]
\stoptexdefinition

\test{oeps}

\starttexdefinition global unexpanded test
     [here test]
\stoptexdefinition

\test

\scratchcounter=123

\starttexdefinition global unexpanded expanded test #oeps
     [here #oeps: \the\scratchcounter]
\stoptexdefinition

\test{oeps}

\stoptext

so, three optional qualifiers (also in that order), so you'd better 
wikify it
