Don't do this, unnumbered chapter still increase the counter and
when you add another chapter afterwards you wonder why the number
is wrong.

The correct way here is to reset the marking entries
at the begin of a new chapter or title with

Agreed. This is a better solution. Any idea why this is not the default?
because this is all kind of tricky wrt when to reset ... chapters can
start a new page or not ... esp in a double sided layout it can be that
one does or doesn't do things that neeed to be reflected on a following
page (so in a complex setup when one changes headers or other properties
oneself, one also might have to make sure a \page happens at the right
spot)
changing something like this for sure will break something else

Re: [NTG-context] headers again
Rightly so, and as I was producing such an MWE (stripping away a lot of
other 'clutter') I found what was causing the problem. At one stage,
trying to solve the problem, I had created a MyChapter definition and
had left a command referencing it in the following:
\setuphead
[chapter][header=empty,alternative=middle,style=\tfa,
numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[1cm]},after={\blank[3cm]},command=\MyChapter]
Give that I was now no longer using MyChapter to solve the problem, that
command=\MyChapter was causing a conflict. I removed it and, using your
earlier
\setupheadertexts[\setups{header}]
\startsetups header
\getmarking[chapter]
\stopsetups
and referencing it in the \chapter or \title items, was able to achieve
the desired result in every way, including that missing header on one page.
Thank you.
