Thanks, Aditya. Using \goto works better.
I have been abusing \reference for some time now, mainly to mark the end of
a file in order to generate page numbers: E.g., \reference[EOF]{} just
before \stoptext or \stopcomponent with \at[EOF]. This has worked for
getting the page range of a chapter or paper. Is there a better way to do
this?

Unlike \goto and \at, \in seems to insert an unwanted space before any text

MWE—
starttext Text\reference[abc]{}
\page Text ,
\in{Text}[abc],
\at{Text, p.}[abc],
\goto{Text}[abc], \stoptext
I am not sure if I consider this a bug. In a typical use case, \reference will have a value, e.g., \reference[abc]{whatever}. In that case, if you use \in{Text}[abc], there should be a non-breakable space between "Text" and "whatever". You appear to be abusing the reference system by giving an empty reference.
I think that usin \goto is better in this case rather than adding a check to \in for an atypical use case.
