The shift is caused by the \setupTABLE commands (ends with "]", so the
line break becomes active and adds one space). You can add a comment
symbol at the end of every such line or move the whole setup part out of
the rotate macro. I also used \framed here, as \st(art|op)background
still has some spurious space at the end of the table.

\setupTABLE[width=\textheight, height=\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[r][each][height=0.13\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[r][1,2][align=lohi, height=0.06\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[c][1,2,3,4][width=0.15\textheight]
\setupTABLE[c][5][width=0.4\textheight]

\rotate[rotation=270]
