Well, this was total waste of space from my part. When I found a working file in a different project and copied the code over I realized that my problem code should never have worked: I had \setuppagenumber[stop] when I should have had \setuppagenumber[state=stop]. Adding "state=" to my non-working code solved all the problems and page numbering works the way I want to have it.
And, as Wolfgang explained, I really don't need \setuppagenumber[state=start] in the beginning of bodymatter, so now I can even clean up my code a bit. Thank you, Wolfgang, I think I understand blocks better now.
