This is a side effect of the definition of \dofastrecurse. After using
\dofastrecurse, the default value of recurselevel is
\number\fastrecursecounter rather than 0. I don't think that this will have
any side effects.
no, it's just the last value; of course i can set it to zero
recurselevel is also known inside \doloop so there it makes sense to have it
afterrwards (or when using \exitloop in any case)
Both \dorecurse and \doloop leave the value of \recurselevel to its
previous value. \dofastrecurse does not and sets it to the last value.
\starttext
\recurselevel
\dorecurse{6}{Hello }
\recurselevel
\doloop{\ifnum\recurselevel6\relax \exitloop\else again \fi}
\recurselevel
\dofastrecurse{1}{6}{1}{and again}
\recurselevel
\stoptext
I do not think that any change is needed (One shouldn't use \recurselevel
outside a recursion macro anyways). I was just surprised to find that
recurselevel was defaulting to such a weird value in xetex.

also in luatex but that will probably change once we have more direct
access at the lua end
anyhow, here's teh way out
\def\dodofastrecurse
{\ifnum\fastrecursecounter\lastrecursecounter
\let\recurselevel\!!zerocount
\else
\fastrecursebody
\advance\fastrecursecounter\steprecursecounter
\expandafter\dodofastrecurse
\fi}
