Part of the problem is this code block:
\def\strc_counters_check_setup#1% does it have to happen here?
{% this can be done at the lua end / a bit messy here ... todo ...
\ifcsname\??counter#1\c!number\endcsname
\doifelsevalue {\??counter#1\c!number}{#1}
{\letbeundefined{\??counter#1\c!number}}%
{\doifvaluenothing{\??counter#1\c!number}
{\letbeundefined{\??counter#1\c!number}}}%
\fi
\ifcsname\??counter#1\c!number\endcsname
% it's a clone
\else
\edef\currentcounterlevel{\thenamedcounterlevel{#1}}%
\edef\p_start{\counterparameter{#1}\c!start}%
\ctxcommand{checkcountersetup("#1",\currentcounterlevel,\ifx\p_start\empty0\else\number\p_start\fi,"\counterparameter{#1}\c!state")}%
\fi}
ConTeXt uses \p_start to store the current value of the start parameter.
When you set now a value for start in \setuppagenumber the value is kept
in \p_start (because there are no groups). When you start now the itemize
environment the same code is loaded and the start parameter (which hasn’t
been set yet) expands to a very stupid default value which is by another
helper function.
\def\strc_counter_setup_using_parameter#1#2% name \someparameter
{\edef\p_start{#2\c!start}%
\setupcounter
[#1]
[ \c!start=\ifx\p_start\empty0\else\number\p_start\fi,
...
\c!numbersegments=#2\c!numbersegments]}
As you can see here the start parameter expands to \p_start when it isn’t empty
what is the case here and because of this you get a wrong value for the item
numbers.
