Thank you, Wolfgang. I added the line "\setnewconstant\backgroundsplit\zerocount" to pack-rul.mkiv, AND IT WORKED! This leaves the (not vital for me) question why minimal example 2 (using "setuptextbackground") produces that funny background with the same commands as in "setupbackground".

Thanks again, Jörg

Ok, I narrowed it down:

-------First minimal example-----------
\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\setupbackground[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,corner=round,frame=on,framecorner=round,framecolor=red,rulethickness=2pt,topoffset=0.25cm,bottomoffset=0.25cm,leftoffset=0.5cm,rightoffset=0.5cm,before={\blank[big]}]
\startbackground

\startitemize[packed]
\item First question
\item Second question
\item Third question
\stopitemize

\stopbackground

\stoptext
---------end of first minimal example

This works in mk II, but not in mk IV.  It seems that start/stopbackground has 
been deprecated (?). And replaced with \definetextbackground ?
The reason is simpler, Hans replaced in MkIV many \newcounter and \chardef
definitions with real counters and forgot for the background macros to add

\setnewconstant\backgroundsplit\zerocount

to pack-rul.mkiv.

Wolfgang
