I use a natural table to format my page header. I have another natural table in the body. When the body's table is split onto the second page it interferes with the formatting of the header's table, but only the header-table on the first page. I've included an example. Run as-is, the header has the correct format. Uncomment the last row of the body table to see the incorrect header formatting. This behavior also occurs using live.contextgarden.net (today, 2013-05-21). The incorrect header table format occurs with "split=yes" and "split=repeat" for the body table. If "split=no" then the header table keeps the correct format.
