I'm not understanding in a much much larger document how I sold this, as I've tired placing \dontleavehmode in different places, but no success.

After many hours of trial-and-error, I was able to recreate the problem in a minimum working example:
file main.tex only contains:
\starttext
\index{birds} \index{insects}
\input secondary
\placeindex
\stoptext
file secondary.tex only contains:
\index{turtles}
For reasons I can't understand, the index produces the same [entry not flushed] error. It seems here happening when contents are input.
The message appears even without the external file.
My code is so simple, I can't understand what I've typed wrong.
Indices need an anchor to be flushed. When you put \index entries between environments the next anchor appears at the start of a new paragraph (I used \dontleavehmode for this in the following example). \starttext \index{birds} \index{insects} \index{turtles} \dontleavehmode % comment this line for [entry not flushed] \placeindex \stoptext Wolfgang
