I can see how that works, Sreeram, especially the chapter:after to cope
with the chapters ending on an even page. Though I will have to try it
now on a copy of the real document to test it there.
All ten images are different, though, in my case (Chapter1.jpg,
Chapter2.jpg... Chapter10.jpg all in a pics directory, so I'd point
\setupexternalfigures to that). I wonder if there is a way to list them
so that they get called in order as chapters proceed. A kind of "if such
and such then \setlayer 1,2,3...."

From what I understood from your explanation, I have this:
%%% SOF
% for 'mill'
\setupexternalfigures[location={default}]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\definelayer[mill][x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,repeat=yes]
\setlayer[mill]{\externalfigure[mill][width=\paperwidth]}
\startsetups chapter:before
\doifoddpageelse{}
{\pushbackground[page]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=mill]
\page[empty]
\popbackground}
\stopsetups
\startsetups chapter:after
\doifoddpageelse{}
{\page[empty]}
\stopsetups
\setuphead
[chapter]
[page=yes,
before=\directsetup{chapter:before},
aftersection=\directsetup{chapter:after}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{
\startchapter[title={Chapter \convertnumber{word}{\recurselevel}}]
\input knuth
\blank
\input tufte
\blank
\input ward
\blank
\ifnum\recurselevel=5
\page
\input zapf
\input zapf
\fi
\stopchapter
}
\stoptext
%%% EOF
[I am just using the mill picture on every facing page of chapter]
If the chapter ends on an even page then we can insert an empty page with
\page[empty] with [aftersection=...] in \setuphead. The [before=...] is push,
set background to mill on a new (empty) left page and then pop back (much like
the example from wiki).
