Ah, I remembered that this was a bug in core-des. I had corrected this 
while adding an improved support for theorems to core-des. I will be 
sending that updated file to Hans in a few days and the bug should be 
fixed. If you need an immediate fix, I can send you a patch.

This is not how enumerations are supposed to be used. Add style=italic 
to see what I mean. Everything after \demo to the end of the paragraph 
is a group, so you can get unexpected results, e.g.

\defineenumeration
   [demo]
   [text=Demo,location=serried,before=,width=fit,conversion=Character]

\newif\iftestcase

\def\test{ Test case is \iftestcase True \else False \fi}


  \starttext

\test

\testcasetrue

\test

  Please see \demo\ \testcasefalse \test first.

\test

  Please see (\demo) afterward.
  \stoptext

For your purpose, I will suggest something simpler:

\definenumber[demo][conversion=Character]
\setuplabeltext[demo=Demo]

\def\demo%
   {\incrementnumber[demo]%
    \bold{\labeltext{demo}\space\getnumber[demo]}}

  Please see \demo\ first.

  Please see (\demo) afterward.


If you want, it is easy to extend this definition to something like 
\definesimpleenumeration
