What perhaps fixes this problem is defining my own section command like this:

\definehead[summary][section]

\setuphead[summary]
     [
     number=no,
     style=bold,
     before={\page\setupbackgrounds[text][text][state=start]
                                   [background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]},
     after={\setupbackgrounds[text][text][state=stop]}
     ]

According to the wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupbackgrounds) that should work,
but Context doesn't seem to understand the syntax and prints the part:
"[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]" before the section title.

What did I do wrong?

Greetings,

Rob
