Got it! But I would not have picked that up from reading
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf, which was
my guide for this particular exercise. It certainly says
\placetable[here,split] but there is no mention of the \start...stop
version of that.
Anyway, I now understand what I need to do, so thank you.

When you use the old \place... commands you have to write
\placetable [here,split} {...} {...}
BTW: \placetable expects either {...} or \bgoup ...\egroup as second
mandatory argument, in your case you has been lucky because \startxtable
has an \bgroup in its definition but you shouldn't rely on this.
