as already mentioned (by taco): \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]
only page and text area backgrounds are recalculated each page (otherwise the
speed penalty is too big]
an option is to do something:
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=PageBackground]
\defineoverlay[PageBackground][\reuseMPgraphic{PageBackground}]
\startreusableMPgraphic{PageBackground}
StartPage ;
fill Field[Text][Footer] withcolor red ;
StopPage ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
(see metafun manual for details on the page stuff)
