I setup the XY arrangement. The etiquettes look o.k. The problem is, that 
Context ignores the topspace and backspace as setup in \setuppaper.
ha, you looked into the source, well, see end of page-imp for a special 
paper size XY where these are used.

% \setuppapersize [XY][A4]
% \setuppaper     [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm,dx=1mm,dy=1mm,nx=2,ny=6]
% \setuplayout    [page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm]
% \setuplayout    [page]
% \setuplayout    [location=middle]
% \setuparranging [XY]
% \showframe
%
% \starttext \dorecurse{30}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext

in your case: just don't set the width and height because they are 
calculated automatically; f you want topskip etc i need to implement that

of course you can add the offsets to the layout:

%     width=196mm,
]%     height=267mm]
\setuplayout
    [topspace=19mm,
   backspace=11mm,
