Yes. When \startsetups is encountered, you are in "normal catcode" regime, so
newline is same as space. So, when you call \setup{...} the newlines have
already been lost.
In principle it is possible to get it work by using some variation of
\obeylines\startsetups, but it is simpler to just use buffers
