Yes, that's pretty bad... in subsequent tests I've found that
‘diluting’ the figures with sufficient text (like adding \page) fixes
the problem -- unfortunately mixing [here] and [page] placement (as I
need to do in my document) messes it up again. In addition, several of
my tests crash ConTeXt with the error ‘Argument of \rootfloatparameter
has an extra }’, for example:
\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}]
\setupfloat[figure][location=inner]
\showframe
\starttext
\input knuth
\dorecurse{4}{
\placefigure[here]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}
\input knuth
\placefigure[page]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}
\input knuth
% \input knuth % uncomment this line to make the file work
}
\stoptext
Again, this works with v2011.02.25 (although figure numbers are mixed
up).
I think I'll have to give up on this now and revert to the old version,
but I'll put a pointer to this thread on the Wiki in case anyone else
runs into similar problems.
