That's part of the issue, but not the entire issue.  Attached is the equivalent 
LaTeX source and the resultant PDF (both gzipped due to ridiculously low 40k 
email limit).  LaTeX appears to float a series of figures placed with the 
"htbp" as follows:

1) Try to float the figures on the current page.  They can be "here", or at the 
top or bottom of the page.
2) If the figures weren't placed on the current page, finish out the current 
page with content (see pdf page 1), unlike ConTeXt's "force" option.  Start a 
new page containing only floats and keep doing so until all floats are flushed. 
 (pages 2-4 of the PDF)
3) Try to place content on what would be the last float page (see page 5 of the 
PDF).

The closest analog that I can see in ConTeXt is the "force" placement option 
for floats, which is mean to ensure strict ordering.  The main difference is 
that the LaTeX "htbp" placement option will fill the remaining vertical 
whitespace with content before starting a float page.

Cheers,
Mike
