The MWE

\index{sample}
\index{fun+games}\index{fun+stuff}
\index{fun}

\seeindex{fun}{sample} % with first subheading, not heading
\seeindex{fun}{blah} % shown with heading (as it should be) ONLY if \index{fun} is commented out; otherwise it is not shown
\seeindex{fun}{humbug} % not shown
\seeindex{fun}{bug} % not shown

\seeindex{fun+games}{entertainment}      % not shown

\placeindex[n=1]

shows several problems in \seeindex. 

What is needed is

fun   1 see blah, bug, humbug, and sample
    games 1 see entertainment
    stuff    1

As Hraban has indicated, there is some urgency here. For my part, I need x-refs for a book that I am trying to get off my plate and onto the publisher’s; so any thoughts on this or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

In latest beta, the error got bigger:

\starttext
\index{sample}
\index{Fun+games}\index{Fun+stuff}
\seeindex{Fun}{sample}
\seeindex{Fun}{bug} % missing!
\seeindex{Fun}{blah}
\placeindex[n=1]
\stoptext

now gives

f
Fun see blah
  games , see sample
  stuff
s
sample

i.e.
* multiple seeindex references from the same point are incomplete
* wrong "root" as before
