When you use a table environment which is broken across pages together with the same environment
in header settings can sometimes mix. In your case it’s best to use \framed in the header which does
the same and is also faster but even then one problem remains. By default \framed uses \linewidth
for “rulethickness” and natural tables assign a different value to this length, this results in wrong
rules in the header when you don’t change the value (see example below).

Here is a better version for the header of your document.

\startsetups[header]

  \setupframed[width=0.2\textwidth,height=\headerheight,align=middle,offset=2mm,rulethickness=0.4pt]

  \dontleavehmode

  \startframed
    Rev
  \stopframed

  \startframed[width=0.6\textwidth,foregroundstyle=\ssbfa]
    \getvariable{document}{projectname}\\ 
    \getvariable{document}{documenttitle}
  \stopframed

  \startframed
    some text
  \stopframed

\stopsetups

BTW: Please use next time the normal mailing list for such problems and not the developer list.
