Must I really understand from your reply that \setupinmargin[x=y] is not equivalent to \setupinmargin[][x=y]? That is: an absent optional argument is not really optionally absent? Your [] is not an absent optional argument at all, it is a given optional argument (that is empty). Point taken. But should that has the effect: "ignore what follows in the second argument?" It’s a effect how the \setupinmargin command is implemented.
What you tried to do is similar to the effect of the second
In other words: you have explicitly disabled the built-in default for the optional argument. Best wishes, Taco
