Why not this one? (Much faster, less problems, etc.)
\enableregime[utf-8]
\starttext
\startuniqueMPgraphic{bla}
label(\sometxt{foobar baz äöß},(3cm,3cm));
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{bla}
\stoptext
Metapost strings are something I wouldn't use anyway, although
Aditya's idea is also a nice one (a dirty way would be to redefine
label to use textext instead - I don't mean it too seriously of
course).

Yes. The way I understand this is: if the number of lines in the column
after balancing are greater than ntop, do column balancing (if enabled)
otherwise not. For example,
\showgrid
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{5}{15}{1}{
\section{\recurselevel}
\startcolumns[n=2,ntop=\recurselevel,balance=yes]
\dorecurse{20}{This is a test line to check for balancing. }
\stopcolumns
\page}
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] frames and hyphenation
Well, it nearly always helps to put a problem to this newsgroup. It helps you concentrate better! The solution was simply, though not obvious at first. It should not haven been "before=\nohyphens" but "top=\nohyphens".

[NTG-context] columns/blank=
Hi, what is the rationale behind \setupblank[\@@klblank]% \ifdim\ctxparskip>\zeropoint\relax \setupwhitespace[\@@klblank]% \fi in page-mul.tex (columns)? It seems to me that blank=line inside a startcolumn does not work if ctxparskip = 0pt, which is the default. So when I'd like to have setupwhitespace[line] to get paragraphs separated by blank lines inside a column, I have to do this some other way?!?

This seems to be a binary switch, right? no difference in your example
between ntop=15 and ntop=13.

[NTG-context] frames and hyphenation

[NTG-context] inmargin
I was thinking that things placed in the margin (\inmargin,\inright,
\inleft) would not take up vertical space, but it seems to do just
that inside an itemize.
Example:
\starttext
\textwidth=4cm
\hairline
%(1)
\startitemize[n,joinedup]
\item abc
\item cde
\stopitemize
\hairline
%(2)
% This seems to me the logical place for the remark.
\startitemize[n,joinedup] \inright{pqr} % < squeezing spaces does
not help
\item abc
\item cde
\stopitemize
\hairline
%(3)
\startitemize[n,joinedup]
% But it has to be placed here to get the result wanted.
\item abc \inright{pqr}
\item cde
\stopitemize
\hairline
\stoptext
I wanted a remark in the right margin logically applying to the
itemize as a whole.
Placing it as in (2) looked the right way, but then the next item is
placed lower on the page. That becomes a problem when a nested
itemize is put there resulting in an empty line at the first
itemmarker. Placing the \inright on the first item of the inner
itemize seems an illogical place to me. It is, of course, not really
problem because trial (3) shows how to avoid this.
Still the question remains if there is some misbehaviour here in
either the code for \inright or for \itemize? Therefore I am pointing
this out just in case it might reveal a more or less subtle bug too
more wiser ConTeXt-brains then mine.

Ok, I solved the problem by getting rid of all \sometxt commands and
replacing them by "low-level" sometxt(). Mojca's My Way about sometxt
says "If you want to prevent clashes, use higher numbers in [\TeXtext's]
arguments". I use numbers beyond 1000. I definitely do not have 1000
labels and, in fact, the correct labels are put in the correct places.
But it seems that the two commands do not like each other anyway. Is it
really not advisable to use them in the same document?
