\completecontent seems to solve my problem so far... To see  what my
problem was  try out the following example:

\setuplayout                [location=middle,
                                     header=\lineheight,
                                     headerdistance=\lineheight]

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=]

\setupheadertexts       [section][pagenumber]
                                    [pagenumber][chapter]

\setuphead
[chapter]
[%before={\talkingk[force,\dimexpr\headerheight+\headerdistance\relax]},
  header=high]

\setupbackgrounds   [header][text][frame=off,bottomframe=on]

\starttext

\placecontent
%\completecontent

\dorecurse{3}
        {\chapter{Test}
                \dorecurse{250}{talking talking talking }
        }

\stoptext
