The extra page at the end of a document in MkII in is related to marks
and there is no perfect solution for this.

If the effect with \page[quadruple] to go the last page in booklet is
wanted or not could be only answered by Hans.

This should be the same problem as in Alans example, \page[quadruple]
moves you to the last page in document but \stopbackmatter or
\stopappendices insert a additonal page at the end but you can get rid of
this with \setupsectionblock[appendix|backmatter][page=yes|no].
