The following MWE gives "false false" instead of "false true". I'm sure this 
used to work (18 months or more ago!) as I found it when re-processing an old document.

because it's not empty (it's a command that you pass)

---start---
\setdataset [DS] [a=aaaa]
\setdataset [DS] [a=]

\starttext

:\datasetvariable{DS}{1}{a}: \crlf
:\datasetvariable{DS}{2}{a}: \crlf

\doifemptyelse{\datasetvariable{DS}{1}{a}}{true}{false}

\doifemptyelse{\datasetvariable{DS}{2}{a}}{true}{false}
\stoptext
---end---

There is a work-around using \doiftext instead as that seems to work okay with 
recalled dataset values but I thought I'd raise it.
for that we have:

\doifsomethingelse
