Can you try this with \starttable instead of \starttabulate? 

You can also generate the thing yourself and say: 

\startlinecorrection
\hbox
  {\vtop{\width.3\hsize#1\vfill}%
   \vtop{#2}%
   \vtop{#3}}
\stoplinecorrection

etc. The top will align them. If needed, put the graphics in a box and play
with the dimensions: 

\def\something#1#2#3% untested 
  {\setbox\scratchbox=\hbox{graphic}
   \scratchdimen=\hsize
   \advance\scratchdimen by -wd\scratchbox
   \advance\scratchdimen by -2em 
   \divide\scratchdimen by 2 
   \hbox to \hsize
     {\vtop{\hsize\scratchdimen\begstrut#1\endstrut\vfill}\hss
      \vtop{\box\scratchbox}\hss
      \vtop{\hsize\scratchdimen\begstrut#3\endstrut\vfill}}}

I could cook up some context stuff, but have a deadline to catch now.
Alternatively use \starttable. 

If you can provide me the *minimal* set of data needed I can take a more
detailed look.
