I’ve rewritten my last email. The context below produces the pdf in the 
screenshot below.

I expect the layout[short] to be applied to pages 2 and 3. It is. But there 
seem to be 2 bugs:

1 - Pages 4, 5 and 6 have the [short] layout. They should have the default 
layout.

2 - On pages 5 and 6, the text flows beyond the bottom of the frame. It should 
stop at the bottom of the frame.

Why do I think these are bugs? If I change the page number in 
\definelayout[3][short] to \definelayout[4][short], then it behaves differently 
and as I expect: only pages 2 and 4 have the [short] layout and the text flows 
within the frames.
