I've been experimenting a bit with the code, and it is much appreciated.
I added \unprotect..\protect and it compiled fine. The figure numbering
is the order in the source files, thanks to the numbering=nocheck;
reading down the page it is 3->1->2. Then I felt bold and commented out
the numbering=nocheck. It does one clockwise rotation of the numbers:
floatblocks : no block given
floatblocks : 1 renumbered / figure 1 => 3
(/home/sanjoy/texmf/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex)
floatblocks : 1 placed
(/home/sanjoy/texmf/tex/context/sample/tufte.tex)
floatblocks : no block given
floatblocks : 2 renumbered / figure 2 => 1
floatblocks : 2 placed
(/home/sanjoy/texmf/tex/context/sample/tufte.tex)
floatblocks : 3 renumbered / figure 3 => 2
floatblocks : 3 placed
If it had done a anticlockwise rotation, the figure numbers would have
been right (1->2->3 reading down the page). Is it because the figure
renumbering does not know of the change to fallback=bottom (from
fallback=here)?
