Both methods work fine (preamble is part of document before \starttext I
guess).

Do I understand it correctly that TABLE is NOT a float?

I played with \{start,stop}locafootnotes, \placelocafootnotes;
\postponenotes; \automigrateinserts and \footnotetext -- \note:

- \postponenotes: works as footnote in text;
                                             (footnoteTABLE3)
- \automigrateinserts: works too but result looks like there are two
  columns (word 'column' is hyphenated);   
                                             (footnoteTABLE4)
- \{start,stop}localfootnote: this gives a big gap between number and
  text in note;                             
                                             (footnoteTABLE2)
- \footnotetext -- \note: works as footnote in text.
                                             (footnoteTABLE)

OK, I'll change my files and templates.
