Pablo,

With your example, I get



which shows a problem in row 2. When I add \\ to the first line of text 
in row 2 column 1, as shown here

    \starttext
         \startxtable[option=stretch]
             \startxrow
                 \startxcell
                     aaa\blank[none]aaa
                 \stopxcell
                 \startxcell
                     \ConTeXt\ \contextversion
                 \stopxcell
             \stopxrow
             \startxrow
                 \startxcell
                     This cell has multiple lines.\\
                     Vertical spacing is wrong.
                 \stopxcell
                 \startxcell
                     What am I missing?
                 \stopxcell
             \stopxrow
         \stopxtable
    \stoptext


I get


which perhaps has some faults in the vertical spacing, but is much 
better than the original. The spacing can be improved by specifying 
[align=lohi] for that cell.

I get the same result with the other two methods I suggested. Is there a 
reason that you cannot use one of these methods in row 2 as you do in row 1?

Perhaps we would all benefit from an obeylines alignment option?
