Also the itemize environment is broken too (perhaps same issue is here too):
\setupitemize[left=(, right=), margin=4em, stopper=]
\starttext
\setupalign[r2l]
\definefont[arabicfont][Arial*arabic at 20pt]
\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=default]
\arabicfont
\startitemize[a]
\item اولی
\item دومی
\stopitemize

and if I swap right and left parentheses, I get the following error:
thanks for testing

the problem is that sometimes it's hard to deduce the state so i've added

\righttolefthbox \rtlhbox
\lefttorighthbox \ltrhbox
\righttoleftvbox \rtlvbox
\lefttorightvbox \ltrvbox
\righttoleftvtop \rtlvtop
\lefttorightvtop \ltrvtop

\autodirhbox
\autodirvbox
\autodirvtop

some cases are (using the default parser, which is a one-pass forward 
scanner) tricky to determine

                   \hbox{\righttoleft(0001)}\par
    \dontleavehmode\hbox{\righttoleft(0002)}\par
                        {\righttoleft(0003)\par}
                        {\righttoleft(0004)}\par
         \dontleavehmode{\righttoleft(0005)\par}
         \dontleavehmode{\righttoleft(0006)}\par
                \rtlhbox{(0007)}\par
                \ltrhbox{(0008)}\par
\dontleavehmode\rtlhbox{(0009)}\par
\dontleavehmode\ltrhbox{(0010)}\par

                   \hbox{(0011)}\par
    \dontleavehmode\hbox{(0012)}\par

the other parsers do several passes and are slower can can handle some 
cases better

anyway, it would be nice to see where the three methods fail:

\setuplayout[middle]

\starttext

\setupalign[r2l]

\definefont[arabicfont][Arial*arabic at 20pt]

\enabletrackers[typesetters.directions.default]
\enabletrackers[typesetters.directions.one]
\enabletrackers[typesetters.directions.two]

\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=default]
% \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=one]
% \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two]

\arabicfont \setupinterlinespace

                   \hbox{\righttoleft(0001)}\par
    \dontleavehmode\hbox{\righttoleft(0002)}\par
                        {\righttoleft(0003)\par}
                        {\righttoleft(0004)}\par
         \dontleavehmode{\righttoleft(0005)\par}
