Micke, What is your definition of "works?" At this end, the code compiled fine and did just what you asked, at least as far as I can see. I formatted your code a bit and entered a "big blank" between tables and compiled this:
\runMPgraphicstrue
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\enableregime[utf]
\setupbodyfont[7pt]
% This works, but is not nice.
\startuniqueMPgraphic{splittop}
draw (0,0)--(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) withcolor white;%should not be
necessary
draw (0,0.725*OverlayHeight)--(OverlayWidth,0.725*OverlayHeight);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[splittop][\uniqueMPgraphic{splittop}]
\startuniqueMPgraphic{splitmid}
draw (0,0)--(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) withcolor white;%should not be
necessary
draw (0,0.5*OverlayHeight)--(OverlayWidth,0.5*OverlayHeight);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[splitmid][\uniqueMPgraphic{splitmid}]
% This does not work, but I think it should
\startuniqueMPgraphic{topsplit}
draw (0,0.725*OverlayHeight)--(OverlayWidth,0.725*OverlayHeight);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[topsplit][\uniqueMPgraphic{topsplit}]
\startuniqueMPgraphic{midsplit}
draw (0,0.5*OverlayHeight)--(OverlayWidth,0.5*OverlayHeight);
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[midsplit][\uniqueMPgraphic{midsplit}]
\starttext
% A working table
\setupTABLE[width=2cm,height=2cm]
\bTABLE[align={middle,lohi}]
\bTR\bTD[background=splittop] Some text\par And some more text that will
apear below the other text\eTD\bTD[background=splitmid] Some text
above\par Some text below \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\blank[big]
% A non-working table
\setupTABLE[width=2cm,height=2cm]
\bTABLE[align={middle,lohi}]
\bTR\bTD[background=topsplit] Some text\par And some more text that will
apear below the other text\eTD\bTD[background=midsplit] Some text
above\par Some text below \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
Result is attached. However, this is a problem that would seem to be best
attacked by learning a bit more about tables.
