Hi Robert,

I think the issue does not come from the version of Context you are using but rather from a lack of formatting your itemgroups with the keyword « repeat ».

I guess what you want to obtain can be achieved with the following example below. At least here with either versions of Context I have the output is as expected.

Best regards: OK

%% begin repeat-subitem.tex
\setupitemgroup[itemize][1][n,repeat][width=1em]
\setupitemgroup[itemize][2][a,repeat][width=2em]
\setupitemgroup[itemize][3][r][width=3em]

\starttext 

\startitemize[n]
\item[ref:1] item 1
	\startitemize  
		\startitem[ref:a]
			subitem a, reference a
		\stopitem
		\item [ref:b] item b
			\startitemize
				\item A sub-sub item
				\item[ref:subsub-B] Another sub-sub item, B
			\stopitemize
		\startitem[ref:c]
			Item c, reference c
		\stopitem
	\stopitemize
	\startitem[ref:2]
		Item 2, reference 2
	\stopitem

\stopitemize
\blank[big]

See \in{Item}[ref:b], see also items \in[ref:2] and \in[ref:1] above, as well as the \in{sub-sub item}[ref:subsub-B].

\stoptext
%% end repeat-subitem.tex
