Thanks. I tried this

% Every chapter starts with a quote on the LHS page:
\setuphead
  [chapter]
  [page=,
   before={\setups[chapter:before]},
   after={\setups[chapter:after]}]

\startsetups chapter:before
    \page[left]
    \noheaderandfooterlines
    \startalignment[left,nothyphenated]
        \startnarrower[4*left]
            \em \getbuffer[chapter:quote]
        \stopnarrower
    \stopalignment
    \resetsetups[quote:text]
    \page[right]
    \noheaderandfooterlines
    \blank[force,2*big]
\stopsetups

\startsetups chapter:after
    \blank[3*big]
\stopsetups

\definelist[chaptertext]
\setuplist[chaptertext][margin=1.3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument]
\define[1]\ChapterAbstract{\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{\start\itx#1\stop}\GotoPar}


(Adding the \GotoPar at the end) but it did not had any effect. At one place 
(no chapter but an unnumbered title, it doesn’t work as well. Here I now have:

\title[h:grief1]{Intermezzo:\\
A short story about grief}
\writetolist[chapter]{}{Intermezzo: A Short Story about Grief}\GotoPar
\ChapterAbstract{A small fragment of a movie script that beautifully
illustrates the gap between the rational and the real.}

I changed it to 
\title[h:grief1]{Intermezzo:\\
A short story about grief}
\writetolist[chapter]{}{Intermezzo: A Short Story about Grief}\GotoPar
\ChapterAbstract{A small fragment of a movie script that beautifully
illustrates the gap between the rational and the real.}\GotoPar

And that works. So I changed it in another chapter to

\chapter[h:loosely]{Prologue:\\Loosely Coupled Spaghetti}
\ChapterAbstract{Starting with an example of how things can go wrong in a
current Business-IT landscape, we notice that these kinds of problems have
existed almost for as long as IT has existed, and that no proposed `silver
bullet' has ever solved them. The goal of the book is introduced.}\GotoPar

\placeinitial S{\kap{\bf uppose we}} have a system for the approval of loans. 
The
business logic has been put into a Business Rule Engine (BRE)
system\footnote{If you are not technical and terms like `application server',

But there it doesn’t. Apparently, I am still missing something.
