You need

\setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=yes]
\setupsectionblock[backpart][page=yes,before={\page[left]}]

The output from your settings is weird but correct because the last page
of the bodymatter is a right page and with the default value for "page" you're
going to the next right page, in your case page 11.

On page 11 starts now the backmatter with empty header and footer lines,
your setting for the backmatter inserts the "\page[left]" command and because
we're at the moment on a right page the current page is empty and the back
page is placed on page 12.

You see, nothing is wrong with ConTeXt, only the settings for the sectionblocks
are a bit confusing and you have to take care of this.
