Here's an odd quirk...
I wanted to get at some of my dataset data for use outside of ConTeXt so I thought I would just extract it from the .tuc file. MWE:
\definedataset [MyDS][delay=yes]
   \starttext
   \input tufte
   \setdataset [MyDS]
     [ title={Test title},
       page={\userpagenumber},
     ]
   \stoptext
In the TUC file I get:
utilitydata.job.datasets.collected={
    ["MyDS"]={
     {
      ["index"]=1,
      ["order"]=1,
      ["page"]="1\\relax ",
      ["realpage"]=1,
      ["title"]="Test title",
     },
    },
   }
Note the \\relax following the page number. This isn't a problem for me at the moment but I wondered if it is something that needs to be looked at?
you ask for the "typeset number" while you want \pagenumber
