Then you're using [text] and not [page]

\setupbackgrounds[page][....]

will really put things in relation to the top left corner, while for
instance [text][text] will use the text as ref point. \overlaywidth and
\overlayheight represent the current h/vsize. 

The origin of the page is (0,0), but the origin of the text area which
is  header+text+footer is (backspace,topspace).
