My guess: It's because fo thecustom suffix. Example:
\setupcaption[table][location=top]
\setupcaptions[minwidth=\textwidth,width=fit,align=center,headstyle={\ss
\tfx},style={\ss \tfx
\setupinterlinespace[line=1.4em]},suffix={:},distance=.5em]
\starttext
\startchapter[title=Chapter]
\startsection[title=section]
\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth }
\startplacetable[title={My Table},location=split]
\bTABLE[option=stretch]
\bTABLEhead
\bTR
\bTH C1 \eTH
\bTH C2 \eTH
\eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\dorecurse{20}{\bTR
\bTD text \eTD
\bTD text \eTD
\eTR}
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
\input knuth
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
