I confirm that with the latest beta, I get the same results. But looking 
at the definition of redodefinefloat this should work.

\def\redodefinefloat[#1][#2][#3]% same label/number
%[snip]
    \definenumber[#1][#3]%
%[snip]

This means that the number #1 and #3 should be coupled. A simple test 
confirms this

\definenumber[one]
\definenumber[two][one]


\starttext

one: \getnumber[one]
\incrementnumber[two]

one: \getnumber[one]

two: \getnumber[two]

\stoptext

I do not understand why this should fail with definefloat.

BTW, why is the definition of redodefinefloat repeated in the source?
