found two simple solutions:
1) writing
f[y_?NumericQ] := NIntegrate[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 1}]
instead of
f = NIntegrate[Sin[x + #], {x, 0, 1}] &
2) writing
NIntegrateF[f, {0, 0.1}]
instead of
NIntegrate[f[x], {x, 0, 0.1}]
with the definition
NIntegrateF[f_ , a_] :=
Module[{F},
F[x_?NumericQ] = f[x];
NIntegrate[F[x], {x, a[[1]], a[[2]]}]
];
