Hi Adam,

I tested your code both with mkii and mkiv, and everything seems to work correctly, both with frame= on or off.
As a matter of fact, I learned from the piece of your code

\setuppapersize
 [A4][A4] % or [A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

\setuplayout
 [header=0pt,footer=1cm,backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm,width=middle,height=middle]

\setupfootertexts
 [presentation---\currentdate\space---\space\pagenumber]

\starttext
 \combinepages[slides][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on]
% or
%  \combinepages[slides.pdf][nx=2,ny=3,frame=on]
\stoptext

that independently of the SimpleSlides module one can combine any PDF file in a handout… Thanks very much! 
I added on the wiki a page for this:

Best regards: OK
