I've used this combo:

\definepapersize[TradePaper][width=6in,height=9in]
\setuppapersize[TradePaper][letter]

It works as expected. If S3 doesn't work you might try defining it
yourself, although I see it exists in page-lay.tex along with the other
layouts. 

I tried a garbage value and note that texexec runs without complaint and
doesn't put anything in the log.
