It is not the iteration itself. Try with another pdf with more than 2 pages and 
you
will see that it happens in the first page(s).

The problem is that you are not giving ConTeXt a fair chance to update the page 
number,
because a series of \vbox to \paperheight {}’s cannot cleanly be broken into 
separate
pages. The solution is to use 

\dorecurse{\noffigurepages}
   {\vbox to \paperheight 
                {\vskip-\dimexpr\headerheight+\headerdistance+\topspace\relax
                 \hbox to \hsize
         {\hskip-\backspace
                \layeredtext[]
                        [boffset=3pc]           
                {\red\userpagenumber}
                {\externalfigure[HannahBW.pdf][page=#1]}%
          \hss}%
                \vss}\page
  }

where the extra \page command allows ConTeXt to properly process the page 
breaks.

Best wishes,
Taco
