Given the following file that uses definecolumnset and startcolumnset/stopcolumnset (largely from the wiki https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definecolumnset) for input:

That’s not a minimal example, but it works for me (even if the text starts only on the second page):

\definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2]

\starttext \startcolumnset [TwoColumns] \title{Test page} \framed [frame=off, bottomframe=on, width=\textwidth, frameoffset=1mm, foregroundstyle=small, ]{\copyright\ \date[][year] Donald E. Knuth} \samplefile{knuth} \stopcolumnset \stoptext

I've had a similar issue since December (posted here: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg101228.html) and trying the examples from the columnsets manual today and the version that worked for Hraban I get the same error (ConTeXt version 2022.05.02, macOS 12.4).

Sigh. I should have mentioned that that I reinstalled LMTX from scratch on both machines, and that my mac is running macOS Monterey 12.3.1.
