indeed, so we're looking into it now (an dlet's forget about the
page/bodydir for the moment)
since textdir and pardir go hand-in-hand i suggest the following
\setuplayout[direction=r2l] % also influences general layout issues
\setupalign [r2l] % textdir and pardir
\setuparranging[direction=r2l] % will flush pages backward
so l2r and r2l values; as they are part of the align mechanism then,
they are automatically part of all commands that have a align key
