Interesting, this (obvious) feature works in the MWE below, but is

\starttext

\startplacetable
\starttable [|c|c|]
\NC 1 \VL first row \AR
\TB[-1cm]
\NC 2 \VL second row \AR
\stoptable
\stopplacetable

\blank [5cm]

\startplacetable
\starttabulate [|c|c|]
\NC 1 \VL first row \NC\NR
\TB[-1cm]
\NC 2 \VL second row \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stopplacetable

\stoptext
