I would take a different approach, with each part header (there
can't be that many) enclosed in
\startstandardmakeup
and
\stopstandardmakeup
To get the part into the TOC there is a command to write an
entry manually, with \writetolist.
Thanks a lot for this comment. It solved my problem. I'm now using:
\defineXMLenvironment
  [appendices]
  {%
    \startappendices
      \setuppagenumbering
        [%
          way=bytext,%
          partnumber=no,%
          conversion=numbers,%
          location={header,right}%
        ]%
        \startstandardmakeup
          [%
            headerstate=empty,%
            pagestate=start%
          ]
          \framed
            [%
              width=\textwidth,%
              frame=off,%
            ]
            {%
              \ss\switchtobodyfont[60pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]
              Appendices
              \writetolist[part]{Appendices}{}
            }
        \stopstandardmakeup
  }
  {\stopappendices}
And it does exactly what I want.
less messing around with %'s:

\defineXMLenvironment
  [appendices]
  {\directsetup{appendices:start}}
  {\directsetup{appendices:stop}}

\startsetups appendices:start
    \startappendices
        \setuppagenumbering [
            way=bytext,
            partnumber=no,
            conversion=numbers,
            location={header,right}
        ]
        \startstandardmakeup [
            headerstate=empty,
            pagestate=start
        ]
        \framed [
            width=\textwidth,
            frame=off
        ] {
            \switchtobodyfont[60pt,ss]
            \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]
            Appendices
            \writetolist[part]{Appendices}{}
        }
        \stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups

\startsetups appendices:start
    \stopappendices
\stopsetups

(spaces and lineending are ignored, use \space when a space is needed)
