      Thank you, Taco, for the fix *and* the helpful explanation.

The file now works (and I can now put this project to bed!)

It is not the iteration itself. Try with another pdf with more than 2
pages and you
will see that it happens in the first page(s).
The problem is that you are not giving ConTeXt a fair chance to update the
page number,
because a series of \vbox to \paperheight {}’s cannot cleanly be broken
into separate
pages. The solution is to use
\dorecurse{\noffigurepages}
   {\vbox to \paperheight
{\vskip-\dimexpr\headerheight+\headerdistance+\topspace\relax
                 \hbox to \hsize
         {\hskip-\backspace
                \layeredtext[]
                        [boffset=3pc]
                {\red\userpagenumber}
                {\externalfigure[HannahBW.pdf][page=#1]}%
          \hss}%
                \vss}\page
  }
where the extra \page command allows ConTeXt to properly process the page
breaks.
Best wishes,
Taco
