Thanks for your suggestion, but I didn't get it to work. In the end,  I
had recourse to some low-level stuff (caution, ugly code ahead!):
:))

this time tested:

% interface=en output=pdftex
% Time-stamp: 
%

\definelayer[markings][width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, repeat=yes]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background={markings}]

\starttext

\setlayer[markings][x=.5\paperwidth, y=20mm, location=c]%
  {\tt \txx "\jobname" - \currentdate [y,/,mm,/,dd]\ - \currenttime\ -
\realfolio\ of \lastpage}

\hbox{}% dummy; else no output

\stoptext

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: context
%%% TeX-master: ""
%%% End:

See details.pdf for layer usage :)

...
\defineoverlay[info][{\getbuffer[info]}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={info}]
\startbuffer[info]
\vbox to \paperheight \bgroup
  \vskip -1 cm
   \framed[frame=off,align=high]{\tt \txx "\jobname" - \currentdate
[y,/,mm,/,dd]\ - \currenttime\ - \realfolio\ of \lastpage}
   \egroup
\stopbuffer
(code adapted from construction of Thumb index on the wiki)
Which seems to be doing exactly what I want.
Thanks, and best
Thomas

x should be (CROPLeftX+CROPrightX)/2
not tested....
