I can’t say without testing the code but it’s something you should try to avoid, especially
because MkIV provides a better mechanism to place material after a heading:

\def\startdictum
  {\dostartbuffer[dictum][startdictum][stopdictum]}

\setuphead
  [title]
  [insidesection=\texsetup{dictum}]

\startsetups dictum

  \doifelsebuffer{dictum}
    {\startframedtext[right][frame=off,offset=none,width=.5\textwidth,foregroundstyle=\itx]
     \getbuffer  [dictum]
     \resetbuffer[dictum]
     \stopframedtext}
    {\donothing}

\stopsetups

\starttext

\startdictum
\input ward
\stopdictum

\starttitle[title=This is a heading with a epgigraph below]

\input knuth

\stoptitle

\stoptext
