Hi Jethro,

Temporary workaround: use the simplecommand.

\definemathmatrix[pmatrix][matrix:parentheses][
simplecommand=pmatrix,
]

\starttext
% \placeformula[-]
\startformula
\startalign
\NC A \NC = \underbrace{\pmatrix{5,5;-1,7}}_{B} \NR
\NC\NC = \underbrace{\pmatrix{2,1;4,2}}_{C} \NR
\stopalign
\stopformula

% \placeformula[-]
\startformula
A \alignhere=
\underbrace{\pmatrix{5,5;-1,7}}_{B}
\breakhere
=
\underbrace{\pmatrix{2,1;4,2}}_{C}
\stopformula
\stoptext

But the code you were using should in principle also work.
