And here I am again! Both in mkiv and in mkxl, start/stopregister does 
not work when there is already an index entry before. Example below!
All best
Thomas
\setuppapersize [A6]
\starttext
     A\index{A} B \page
     A\startregister [index] {A} B\startregister [index] [B] {B}
     \dorecurse {10} {\input tufte}
     A\stopregister [index] {A} B\stopregister [index] [B]
\page
\placeregister[index]
\stoptext
And I'm not even sure if this is allowed to say anymore, but: works in 
mkii...
That's because mkii is AI enhanced. Can you try this:
\setuppapersize [A6]

\starttext

     A\index{A} B \page

         \stopregister [index] [A]
     B>
     \stopregister [index] [B]

\page

\placeregister[index]

\stoptext

(Watch the [A] vs {A} usage where [A] is the label used for matching the 
potentially weiord nested start/stop ... maybe we need different aliases 
for these, like \fromregister and \toregister.)
