Thank you, I will test it and I suppose your solution will work. But I think that simple TeX-only solution should work too. Maybe I am a bit foolish :-) if I try to do things as simple as possible and if I try to use thing with understanding them... The behaviour surprised me and as I did not expect it, I discussed it here. And sure, if it is a feature, I really should use \tbox :-) Have a nice day, Martin

I'm using private macro for title of section:
Sometimes I get so cross with ConTeXt, and that's because, like you, when stuck, I run to "The TeXbook" and not to "ConTeXt the manual".
Only a fortnight ago, I was facing your exact problem and wasted several hours making a solution for a non-existant problem. So, in the hope that you can profit from my bitter experience, here's what I advice:
1) Go to the ConTeXt manual,
2) Look up '\setuphead' in the index,
3) Encapsulated within the handful of pages, following the index reference, is the solution to your exact problem laid out, step by step. (It's also a good introduction into the methodology used in the ConTeXt interface.)
I'm only guessing that you want your section header looking like:
X The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog
and using that assumption, I had a go at translating that into ConTeXt

\setuphead[section] [command=\doTitle]
%% \def\doTitle#1#2{% %% \vbox to 0pt{ %% \hsize=3cm %% \hbox{\vtop{#1}\raise\lineheight\vtop{#2}} %% \vss}}
\def\doTitle#1#2{% \hbox to 3cm \bgroup \hfill \setupframed [offset=.5em, frame=off] \tbox{\framed [width=1.5cm, align=right]{#1}}% \tbox{\framed [width=3cm, align=right]{#2}}% \egroup}
\starttext
\section A Day in the Life of the Quick Brown Fox
\stoptext
