This has nothing to do with \dorecurse, but due to the fact that the 
argument of \dorecurse or any macro is parsed before the catcode changes 
introduced by \startlines come into effect. Here is a simpler example 
demonstrating similar behavior:

\def\test#1{#1}

\starttext
\test{Something
\startlines
Line one
Line two
\stoplines}
\stoptext

Depending on what you want to do, it should be possible to come up with a 
workaround.
