Then beat the hell out of it, until it starts behaving like a duck.
The main trouble is that descriptions do not set any marking, and there
are not enough hooks to set a mark. But we can still use poor man's marks:
macros!
% First we need two types of headings: for chapters and for interludes
startsetups[headline:chapter]
{\ss\it Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber].\quad\getmarking[chapter]}
\stopsetups
% Marking version does not work ... see comment below
% \definemarking[interlude]
% \definemarking[interludenumber][expansion=yes]
%
% \startsetups[headline:interlude]
% {\ss\it Interlude
\getmarking[interludenumber].\quad\getmarking[interlude]}
% \stopsetups
% So we define our own marks
\def\interludeMARK{empty}
\def\interludenumberMARK{empty}
% And a second version of heading
\startsetups[headline:interlude]
{\ss\it Interlude \interludenumberMARK.\quad\interludeMARK}
\stopsetups
% The header texts need to switch between the two
\setupheadertexts[\setups{headline:\CURRENTDIVISION}][pagenumber]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
% We start with current division as chapter
\def\CURRENTDIVISION{chapter}
% Provide an option of switching on interlude pages
\couplepage[interlude][before={\gdef\CURRENTDIVISION{interlude}}]
\startsetups interlude
\page
\pagetype[interlude]
\stopsetups
% And switch back on chapter pages
\setuphead[chapter][before={\page[right]\def\CURRENTDIVISION{chapter}}]
% Now define the enumeration
\defineenumeration[interlude]
[before=\setups{interlude},
conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interludeA,
text=, listtext=,
title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=,
titlecommand=\interludemarking]
\def\interludemarking#1%
{\gdef\interludeMARK{#1}%
\global
\edef\interludenumberMARK{\getnumber[\currentdescriptionnumber]}%
#1}
% Ideally, I would have liked to use marks, but this does not work
% Probably because we are inside a box
% \def\interludemarking#1%
% {\marking[interlude]{#1}%
%\marking[interludenumber]{\getnumber[\currentdescriptionnumber]}%
%#1}
\starttext
\title{Contents}
\placelist[chapter,enumeration:interlude,enumeration:interludeA]
\chapter{Chap 1}
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\startinterlude {Interlude 1}
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\stopinterlude
\chapter{Chap 2}
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\startinterlude {Interlude 2}
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\stopinterlude
\stoptext
At this stage I am not sure whether you gain anything by using
enumerations. You get predefined support for numbering and lists, but that
is not too hard to write on your own.

Re: [NTG-context] chapter-like headings with separate numbering
Thanks, that's a nice approach. It doesn't fully pass the duck test:
The page headlines come from the chapter titles, even in the interludes.
Here is an example.
\startsetups[chheadline]
{\ss\it Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber].\quad\getmarking[chapter]}
\stopsetups
\setupheadertexts[\setups{chheadline}][pagenumber]
\defineenumeration
[interlude]
[before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interlude,
text={Interlude }]
\defineenumeration
[interludeA]
[before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interludeA,
text=, listtext=,
title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=]
\starttext
\title{Contents}
\placelist[chapter,enumeration:interlude,enumeration:interludeA]
\chapter{Chap 1}
\interlude{Interlude 1}
\interludeA{{Interlude 1}}
\chapter{Chap 2}
\interlude{Interlude 2}
\interludeA{{Interlude 2}}
\stoptext

An enumeration passes the duck test [1] for headings, so ...
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test
\defineenumeration
[interlude]
[before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interlude,
text={Interlude }]
\defineenumeration
[interludeA]
[before=\page,conversion=Characters,way=bytext,list=interludeA,
text=, listtext=,
title=yes, titleleft=, titleright=]
\starttext
\title{Contents}
\placelist[chapter,enumeration:interlude,enumeration:interludeA]
\chapter{Chap 1}
\interlude{Interlude 1}
\interludeA{{Interlude 1}}
\chapter{Chap 2}
\interlude{Interlude 2}
\interludeA{{Interlude 2}}
\stoptext

If you want to refer to your problem there is a better definition
for \problem.
\definecomplexorsimpleempty\problem
\def\complexproblem[#1]%
{\doglobal\increment\ProblemNumber
\Problem[#1]{\ProblemNumber}}

It seem that interlude is like a section,
so it's correct that at every chapter there is a reset of the
alphabetical counter
