Hi Pablo,
I cannot confirm any bug, but what I would do anyway is to force the sorting in whatever order I want by using
\index[]{} with the argument specifying the order.
So your example could be:

\starttext
   \index[tipograf\'{i}adig]{tipograf\'{i}a digital}
   \index[tipograf\'{i}as]{tipograf\'{i}as}
   \index[idiomadeu]{idioma+de un pasaje}
   \index[idiomadel]{idioma+del documento}
   \completeindex
   \stoptext

if you want tipografias digital before tipografias.
This works with all mkiv and mkii versions I have, including the ones that I installed today. I use it for a rather comlex three-level index and it works flawlessly (for me).

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
