[NTG-context] How to stop column text from crashing into content afterwards?

It took a lot of trial and error, but here's the glitch I am seeing in this minimum working example:
\starttext

    \startcolumns[n=2]
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \startitemize
                \dostepwiserecurse{1}{11}{1}{
                    \vbox{
                    \startitem Question \recurselevel
                        \startitemize
                            \startitem A\stopitem
                            \startitem B\stopitem
                            \startitem C\stopitem
                            \startitem D\stopitem
                        \stopitemize
                    \stopitem
                    }
                }
            \stopitemize    
    \stopcolumns
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
    \startcolumns[n=2]
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \startitemize
                \dostepwiserecurse{1}{11}{1}{
                    \vbox{
                    \startitem Question \recurselevel
                        \startitemize
                            \startitem A\stopitem
                            \startitem B\stopitem
                            \startitem C\stopitem
                            \startitem D\stopitem
                        \stopitemize
                    \stopitem
                    }
                }
            \stopitemize    
    \stopcolumns
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth
        \section{Title}
            \input knuth    
\stoptext

If you render it and go to page 7, you will see that the item in Question 11, choices C and D are covering up "10 Title" on the same page. In my own document, this is happening a great deal. I could use a page break, but as you see here with question 11, that would leave a huge piece of the page gone.
I've even seen some cases where it seems the columns start writing over each other, instead of going to the next page. So image in this documetn if question 8, 9, and 10 appeared on topo of 5, 6, and 7.
Is there any way to present this terrible behavior from rendering like this?

Did you try \setuplayout[grid=yes] ?

I don’t know if that’s the case here, but columns need grid layout, and 
the setting helped with other cases of strange placement.
