Well, not for this particular problem, it happens here, too.
But may I suggest the use of "natural tables" (aka TALBES)? I find them way
more comfortable to use and the code is cleaner (to my eyes, at least).
This should get you going:
% Start of file
\setupTABLE[r][first][foregroundstyle={\ss \bf
\color[white]},background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,framecolor=blue]
\setupTABLE[column][each][leftframe=off,rightframe=off]
\setupTABLE[column][1][align=right]
\setupTABLE[column][2][alignmentcharacter={.},aligncharacter=yes,align=middle,style={\color[red]}]
\chardef\characteralignmentmode=2
\starttext
\startplacetable[title=test]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTH Category \eTH \bTH Data entry \eTH \eTR
\bTR \bTD First \eTD \bTD 35.12 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[background=color,backgroundcolor=red] Second \eTD \bTD 5.014 \eTD \eTR
\bTR[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
\bTD Total \eTD \bTD 110 \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
\stoptext
% End of file
