I see the same result from "context bibtest".

I was just trying the bib support with a fresh "minimals".  At some
point, I read that the bib module
is no longer needed, so I tried without the \usemodule lines and got
the same result.  Then I replaced
the \completepublications and get something better, but ref. [1] is blank:

%orig: \usemodule[bib]
%orig: \usemodule[bibltx]
\setupbibtex[database=sample]
\setuppublications[numbering=yes] % Show reference numbers in the
generated list.

\starttext
As \cite[hh2010b] already indicated, bibtex is a \LaTeX-centric program.

\placepublications[criterium=all]
%orig:\completepublications
\stoptext
