You can need a p column in table/tabulate.

The wrong position of the line is a bug, make a bug report and use Li  
Yanruis
fix for the moment.

\definetextbackground
   [underline]
   [location=paragraph,
    alternative=1,
    background=,
    frame=off]

\starttext

\starttabulate
\NC Title Head \EQ \underline{Here is text, \dorecurse{20}{blur }} \NC 
\NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
