Sorry, cut and paste error (I added the comma on line 21).  The
underlying error is still there
in that case i need a minimal file showing the problem
I am not Guy Worthington, but I had a (non successful) look at it and
this is my testing file:
==================================================
\setuphead[chapter]
          [alternative=command,
           command=\ContentsHead]
\def\ContentsHead#1#2%
  {\framed [width=\hsize]{\doifelsenothing{#1}{a}{b}}}
\starttext
\chapter {Berend}
\stoptext
==================================================
Ah, this is beause \ContentsHead gets a truckload of rubish passed (add 
\showargument{#1} and you see what i mean) and this confuses tex when 
testing things (if..else in argument); even if i would solve this, other 
*user) code could mess up things; this is why we have (inside a head):

   \doifmodeelse{*sectionnumber}

or alternatively: \doiftextelse for content testing

(btw, sorry that i didn't yet answer your question about the numbering)
