Sounds like you've got it working, but just to provide an alternative
that should* work, according to the sources:
\setuplanguage[cz]
[compoundhyphen=-,%Or, to keep the \setuphyphenmark
rightcompoundhyphen=-,% configuration mentioned in Taco's link:
leftcompoundhyphen=-]%`*compoundhyphen=\compoundhyphen`
That does require you to replace all the hyphens with `||`, which it
understandably sounds like you want to avoid, but it can be good for
someone like me who likes that explicit markup, or for someone who needs
more control over which symbols go where (I'm using for Esperanto --
slightly non-standard -- a vertical tick mark for the inner-line and the
left but the hyphen for the right). The main benefit, though, is that
you can do the same thing for line-breaking hyphenation if you need to
change that, just drop the `compound` in the keys.
* I've been running into it working for the first break or two but than
switching back to the default for the rest of the document, and haven't
been able to track down why. Though it might have something to do with
me still using the ridiculously out-of-date 2016.05.17 because I haven't
gotten around to overriding the Gentoo package manager yet...

I agree...
