the problem is that the paragraph is larger than two columns and

so, what you can do is trigger the otr before columns end
add \penalty\outputpenalty just before \stopcolumns
(ok, might hav eother side effects
It does indeed not do what I expected. One final try: is there some
sort of setting for the number of lines allowed in a column that
triggers the OTR, so that I could tweak that? Or is it hard coded and
will it break everything?
where did you put the penalty?
Right before \stopcolumns, as you suggested.
\starttext
\showgrid
\startalignment[center] AA \stopalignment\blank
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes]
%\dorecurse{40}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % << this works
\dorecurse{42}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % << this
pushes columns (BB) to the next page
\penalty\outputpenalty
\stopcolumns
\startalignment[center] BB \stopalignment\blank
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes]
\dorecurse{100}{b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b }
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
