Thanks for the bits and pieces to the puzzle. I'll do my best to make
sense of them and solve the problem.

Hi Julian,
you’re right, the example didn’t do what you wanted, and it didn’t
intend to.
Using \getmarking you can get a section title (or another “mark”), you
can’t combine it with the variable commands, and you don’t need it for
your case.
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking isn’t really helpful
since there’s no example with section titles, but it shows you can
also get previous or next “marks”.
BTW, I can’t remember when you need \structurevariable vs.
\namedstructurevariable...

I might need a little more help just to understand how best to adapt
this to my situation:
One thing is clear: I was attempting to use a 'list' variable, and I
can see why that was an error, since it is headertexts, not TOC that
I want to influence.
But let me simplify my situation:
You seem to suggest initially that I could use \structureuservariable
(or \structurevariable) instead, especially since I already have a
variable to call on, e.g \startchapter[title={My title}][author={A.
uthor}]. But in the example you then gave, you made no use of either
of these.
My current setting is:
\setupheadertexts [{\hfill\getmarking[chapter]\hfill}][]
[{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][]
which gives me the book title centred on verso pages, and the chapter
title centred on recto pages. All I want to do is to have the chapter
contributors' name for each chapter instead of the chapter title.
So why can't I create a setups along the lines of:
\startsetups[contributor] \getmarking[\structureuservariable{author}]
\stopsetups
Then just swap 'chapter' in \setupheadertexts, with 'contributor'? I
tried it but it doesn't work. I thought it would be logical. Clearly
I'm wrong but don't appreciate why.

The *list* variables work only in lists.
There’s also \structurevariable and \structureuservariable.
Make sure you use setups for the header, otherwise the variable gets
expanded only once at the beginning.
Like in:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setupheadertexts[] % empty
\setupheadertexts[\setups{text right}][][][\setups{text left}]
\startsetups[text right]
\rlap{\pagenumber}
\hfill
\getmarking[chapter]
\hfill
\llap{Un Nom}
\stopsetups
\startsetups[text left]
\rlap{Una Person}
\hfill
\getmarking[section]
\hfill
\llap{\pagenumber}
\stopsetups
