The auto-inheritance of the setups does not work yet, because the 
\definedocument[thesis] does not
set up local version of the before= and after= keys of \startthesis. 

\definedocument (re)defines the value of the actual setup “thesis:start” 
correctly to inherit the 
parent’s \directsetuo, but because the actual before and after keys are 
inherited from the (document)
parent as well, the effect on \startthesis still remains equivalent to this:

   \setupdocument
     [thesis]
     [before=\directsetup{document:start},
      after=\directsetup{document:stop}]

Best wishes,
Taco
