One more observation on the strangeness of \setuppagenumber.

Putting \setuppagenumber[number=4] before the call to \xmlprocessbuffer and 
putting \setuppagenumber[state=stop,number=8] inside the \startxmlsetups does 
make the pagenumber having the value 8. This proves two things:

(1) the \setuppagenumber in the \startxmlsetups is processed before the 
pagenumber is fixed and typeset

(2) the [state=stop] in the \startxmlsetups is wrongfully ignored, whereas at 
the same time [number=8] does get honored.

Imho this demonstrates there is an error in the processing of \setuppagenumber 
when located inside the \startxmlsetups. An error that does not occur when 
called at the \starttext document-level before the \xmlprocessbuffer.
Could it be a matter of locality?

You have to provide a *working* minimal example.

Not so simple, alas.
But I will be greatly helped if you can ascertain that

\startxmlsetups
code within
\stopxmlsetups

is code executed locally as if between \begingroup .. \endgroup.
That would explain the behaviour.
The remedy then could be a more global execution of \setuppagenumber.
I already tried in vain \global\settuppagenumber
