1. When you apply a custom section style with the command key, e.g.

\setuphead
   [section]
   [command=\MyTopic]

you have to use either the \protected prefix for \def or use \define 
instead, this means you should use

\protected\def\MyTopic#1#2%
   {...}

or

\define[2]\MyTopic
   {...}


2. \color expects an argument.

You use \color at the begin of your title page

\def\StartTitlePage[#1]%
   {\bgroup
    ...
    \startalignment[right,broad]
    \TitleFont\color[LightColor]\ss\bfc\setupinterlinespace[big]}

which doesn't work anymore, the correct method is to use 
\startcolor[...] at the begin and \stopcolor at the end.

\def\StartTitlePage[#1]%
   {\bgroup
    ...
    \startalignment[right,broad]
    \TitleFont\startcolor[LightColor]\ss\bfc\setupinterlinespace[big]}

\def\StopTitlePage
   {\stopcolor
    \stopalignment
    ...}


3. \setupinteraction fails when you pass \currentdate to the date key.

\setupinteraction[date=\currentdate]


4. Active characters for quotation marks.

To get proper quotation marks use direct input with the correct symbol 
or use \quotation{...} which add the quotation marks set for the current 
language.
