Well, a simple minimal example
\starttext
{ \definenote[metanote][conversion=set 2]
Test\metanote{test}
}
\stoptext
Since the note is defined in a group, its meaning is lost when you go
out of the group. But the note in actually inserted at the end of the
current-page, by which time, tex has no idea of counter of the note,
hence the error.
I am not sure if this is the "correct" behaviour or should definenote
should change to make sure that something like this works. I tend to
think that this is the correct behaviour. Do you really need to define
the note inside a group?
(In your example the group is being created by the braces in
{\typebuffer \getbuffer})
