New subject: section numbers in margin eventually get placed too far left

18 Sep 2013

      This test file

==================================================
\setuplayout[leftmargindistance=0.125in,
  leftmargin=0.625in,
  width=4.75in,
  rightmargindistance=0.25in,
  rightmargin=0.25in]

\setuphead[section][alternative=inmargin]
\showframe

\starttext
\dorecurse{6}{\section{Blah} 
\input tufte
}

\stoptext
==================================================

asks for section numbers in the left margin, separated from the section
title by the leftmargindistance.  It works fine for the first four
sections.  But sections 5 and 6 (on page 2) have the section number
shifted further left from the correct position by roughly 10pt or so.

It seems very sensitive to the layout.  If I change the
leftmargindistance to 0.25in, the section numbers are all placed
correctly.

I noticed the problem on my default context version:

ConTeXt  ver: 2013.05.28 00:36 MKIV current [from the Debian TL2013 pkgs]

It also happens with the live ConTeXt and with vanilla TL2013.  (Though
it works fine with MKII.)

Is this a bug, or just a change in setuphead that I didn't take account of?
