It works for \type if you use \asciimode but \starttyping fails even
with \asciimode. Philipps buffer solution seems to work with either
version.

\asciimode
\starttext

%% works
\startfootnote
  foo \type{#bar}
\stopfootnote

%% fails
%% \startfootnote
%%  foo
%%  \starttyping
%%    #bar
%%  \stoptyping
%% \stopfootnote

\stoptext
