A newline is treated in general as a space, so you have unwanted space in
case 1.
case 2 shows just a ConTeXt feature: space after a "," in an option list is
gobbled.
case 3 is the normal way to write \setup-commands
If you really want a newline as in case 1, then consider case 4:
\setuphead[chapter][numbercommand={\gobbleoneargument}%
]
