Personally I'd never use columnsets for anything else than very
controlled situations because that's what they were made for. Not to be
mixed with the normal pagebuilder. So, first of all you need to operate
on the grid (i can probably get rid of some side effects and maigt even
force that but not now). Then, \chapter itself flushes pages so that
should be disabled.
Here is a simple example:
\setuplayout[lines=40,grid=yes]
\definecolumnset[cgjcolset][n=2]
\starttext
\definecolumnsetspan
[chapter]
[background=color,
backgroundcolor=red]
\setuphead[chapter][page=no,after=,before=]
\startcolumnset[cgjcolset]
\startcolumnsetspan[chapter]
\chapter{This is a chapter about column sets}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{20}{
\samplefile{sapolsky}\par
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
