I have been struggling with some similar issues (in MkII). I was
getting an extra page at the end of a document which came and went for
reasons that were unclear to me. And then there was the issue (bug?)
about "getting to the back page of a booklet" which you helped me with
before.(It's towards the end of
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Imposition)
Was this actually a bug?
The extra page at the end of a document in MkII in is related to marks
and there is no perfect solution for this.
If the effect with \page[quadruple] to go the last page in booklet is
wanted or not could be only answered by Hans.

While your solution seemed to work well originally, it seems to be
fragile now when used in a more complicated document. It seems to work
OK when I don't use a sectionblock for the back cover, so perhaps it
is related.
This should be the same problem as in Alans example, \page[quadruple]
moves you to the last page in document but \stopbackmatter or
\stopappendices insert a additonal page at the end but you can get rid of
this with \setupsectionblock[appendix|backmatter][page=yes|no].
This does not seem to make a difference. If I enclose the two back
cover pages in \startbackmatter...\stopbackmatter then a spurious
extra blank page is generated after the "back cover".
Did this happen also with MkIV or only in MkII?
...
I tried all combinations of
\setupsectionblock[backmatter|backpart][page=no|yes]
("backpart" in the \setup corresponds to "backmatter" in the text,
yes? Another thing that was confusing me!)
My fault, I meant 'backpart' but I need a example to help you.
