No, it's a bit more complicated. I think the size of the layer has
nothing to do with it.

It's more like this (which works with the beta)

%------------
\definecolor [bluntorange] [r=.9373, g=.6471]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\definelayer[Test]
\setupbackgrounds[text]
  [background=Test]

\defineoverlay[BAR][{\bgroup\color[bluntorange]\blackrule[width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]\egroup}]

\def\FOO{\dosingleempty\doFOO}

\def\doFOO[#1]#2{% very simplified macro structure
  \bgroup
  \setupstrut\setupinterlinespace% normally with font change
  \framed[width=30mm,background=BAR]% width is always given
  {\vbox{\normaloffinterlineskip% vbox for additional offsets
    \hbox{#2\strut}}}% same for the hbox
  \egroup}


\starttext

\framed[width=\textwidth,height=50mm]\bgroup
\setlayer[Test][x=2cm,y=2cm]{\FOO{FOOBAR}}
\egroup

\stoptext
% -------------

The document is a multi-layer (context, not pdf layer) mp-graphic with
nested structures. So I have many boxes that are placed at specific
positions (using \setlayer). Some content is collected in a buffer and
then placed in a framed vbox (also by \setlayer). So this is not a
simple story (at least not for me).

I'll minimize the components of the xml source and then try to build the
structure of the macros by hand. No fun, but still better than living
without new context features. I'll start with this ASAP.
