Uggh... I just tried it without the \definehead[section][chapter] line,
and it works! (I.e. there is a page number in the footer, only on the
first page of the section.) It wasn't working yesterday ... which makes
me wonder what else I changed since then.

Thanks for the fixes.
When I said "the stable version", I wasn't very specific, but I was
referring to the one on the TeX Live 2013 CD.

But after you said the above I realized you were talking about this
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Single_user_installation):

I'm making a note of it here in hope that it will help me remember next
time what the "stable" version refers to.

Lars
