To follow up on this: after further investigation it seems the bibtex
@conference entry type is broken. All such entries in my bibtex
database appear as blanks in the bibliography. Below is a minimal
example with an attached bibtex database.

Any idea how to solve this or where to look?

\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuplayout[backspace=1.25in,
width=middle,topspace=0.75in,headerheight=0.5in,bottomspace=0.75in,footerheight=0.5in]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer]


\setuphead[section][textstyle=bold, numberstyle=bold, continue=yes]


\setupbibtex[database=references,sort=author]
\setuppublications[refcommand=authoryear,sorttype=bbl]
\setupcite[authoryears][left=,right=]

\section{Main Body}
This file is for testing whether the bibliography works. There seems
to be some problem.

Let's cite a conference article: \cite[reynolds:defints1972].

And another conference article: \cite[maranget:cpm].

Let's cite a journal article: \cite[reynolds:defints].

Let's cite a book: \cite[gordon:holbook].

Let's cite something unpublished: \cite[geuvers:gammainf].

Let's cite a miscellaneous item: \cite[coq].
