I have a situation when I have to put side by side two
floats (a table and figure). My current code is
\placetable[here][label]{caption}%

Have you tried \centerline  (may not work)?

\placetable[here][label]{caption}%
   {\centerline{\placesidebyside{table code}{figure code}}}
It works, but it needs a \scantokens inside the centerline
because of the active stuff in the tables setups.
put 'm in buffers: 

\startbuffer[table]
...
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer[figure]
...
\figure

\placetable
    [here][label]
    {caption}
    {\centerline
       {\placesidebyside
          {\getbuffer[table]}
          {\getbuffer[figure]}}}
