Not possible with a layer.

standardmakeup and framedtext use a \vbox and floating text around a image
did not work in restricted vertical mode unless you use ConTeXt's stream
mechanism, you can find examples in m-streams or in the list archive.

Do you really need standardmakeup or why do you use it.
A alternative for framedtext is textbackground, it is also the better solution
in grid mode.
\definetextbackground
[cover]
[frame=on,
location=paragraph,
background=,
leftoffset=.25ex,
rightoffset=.25ex,
topoffset=.25ex,
bottomoffset=.25ex]
\starttext
\starttextbackground[cover]
\getbuffer[text]
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext
