you're right, since \getmarking is doing a couple of things, it's never
empty (for instance there is the test macro in there), instead use the low

\fetchmark[chapter][first]
(in supp-box (texexec --modu --pdf supp-box) you will find macros like
\doifcontent that you can also use for such purposes)
