Hans and list,
Previous to the 20140316 beta, we were able to prevent text
backgrounds from bleeding over the footnote space with
\chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone
as you described in a 2008 list entry. While the problem it resolves
is still there, the fix is now broken. The background on the
following page is starts too far down the page (although it appears
to have the proper depth).
The following example demonstrates the problem. Sorry for its
length.
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\definetextbackground[blockquotebackground]
[
location=paragraph,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=gray,
backgroundoffset=.25em,
frame=off,
]
\definedelimitedtext[BlockQuote]
\setupdelimitedtext

[
leftmargin=1pc,
rightmargin=1pc,
before={%
\blank[halfline]%
\startblockquotebackground%
\setupindenting[next]%
},
after={%
\stopblockquotebackground%
\blank[halfline]%
},
]
