Hello Peter,
...
\start ... \stop mark the boundaries of the local (layout) setup, which
is defined between \startlocal ... \stoplocal. This way you don't need
to redefine your old layout after a local (one page) style change.
ConTeXt returns to the prior layout automatically.
So deleting them is no good idea (results in extra work for you) :)
Yes, I noticed that... :)
...
If you can make a minimal example of your buffer problems...
Ok, I'v attached the example. It seems that If I use 
\start \startlocal and \stop and \stoplocal I get some errors...
Hi Miguel. I have attached a working example (sorry for the crippled
output; seems, my emacs is not configured right for utf).
Greets, Peter

Thanks for your help!

This is what I call 'creative usage' of a feature :)
Better use \getbuffer for this.
