Here is a more robust version. I use \??sf as a namespace for 
subformulas. I do not think that this is used anywhere else.

%D The test cases

\startbuffer
\placeformula \startformula
  a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\stopformula
\stopbuffer

\startsetups[test]
\dorecurse{3}{\getbuffer}

Lets start subformulas
\startsubformulas
  \dorecurse{3}{\getbuffer}
\stopsubformulas

Also works inside alignments
\startsubformulas
\placeformula \startformula \startalign
  \NC A \EQ B + C \NR[first]
  \NC D \EQ E + F \NR[+]
\stopalign \stopformula
\stopsubformulas

Notice that in \in formula[first] we get the correct reference.

\dorecurse{3}{\getbuffer}
\stopsetups


\starttext
\section{Default}
\setups[test]\page

\section{Section}
\setupformulas[way=bysection]
\setups[test]\page

\section{Roman}
\setupsubformulas[conversion=romannumerals]
\setups[test]\page

\section{Separator}
\setupsubformulas[separator=-]
\setups[test]\page

\stoptext
